BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.280 of 2011 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.402 of 2010 of Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 454, 380 & 461 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 27/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner had committed robbery from the Rajadhani Jewellery at Kasaragod after making a hole on the wall and had robbed gold ornaments weighing 15 Kgs. of which a portion alone has been seized so far at the instance of the petitioner. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the B.A.No.280/2011 2 likelihood of the petitioner making himself scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
