RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT: --------------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA ERNAKULAM, REPRESENTING THE S.I.OF POLICE, SHOLAYUR POLICE STATION. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.7675 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 07th day of December, 2010 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 to 9 in Crime No.71 of 2010 of Sholayur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 347, 323, 308, 420 & 379 read with Section 149 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 17/11/2010. The petitioners were arrested on 17/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that five persons were attacked with deadly weapons like axe, wooden sticks, etc. and A3 to A9 are hirelings from Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu engaged for hire and that a loss of Rupees two lakhs has been caused to the estate. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioners are Bail Appln.No.7675/2010 : 2 : released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
