Sri.P.G.Thampi, Director General of Prosecution, opposed these applications. 3. The petitioner was arrested on 22.2.2007 in Crime No.86/07 of Manjeri Police Station referred to above. His arrest in the other crime was formally recorded on 17.3.2007 when he was produced before the court. His police custody was also given in crime No.334/06. 4. The police had stumbled upon the petitioner in connection with Crime No.86/07 and had seized 127 forged SSLC books, 157 forged driving licences, 90 rubber stamps of various departments, etc. The petitioner is the person, who had facilitated the absconding of BA.1973/07 & 1975/07 : 2 : accused Nos.2 and 3 in Crime No.334/06 for obtaining a passport to the first accused namely, Fahad, who is a Pakistan national, who was trying to establish roots on the Indian soil. The said Pakistan National was arrested from Mysore by the Karnataka police after an encounter. 5. The investigation of the cases is still in the preliminary stage and the complicity of the petitioner in other crimes is yet to be unearthed by the police. Under these circumstances, if the petitioner is released on bail, he will influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses and that may hamper the smooth investigation of the case. I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. These petitions are accordingly dismissed. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
