The petitioner was arrested on 05/06/2010 in Crime No.578 of 2010 and his arrest was recorded on 17/06/2010 in Crime No.418 of 2010 and on 14/09/2010 in Crime No.517 of 2010. 3. The accused is a habitual offender. The allegations in the cases are that the petitioner and the other accused committed lurking house trespass and committed theft of gold ornaments, electronic items and cash. Now the cases are ripe for trial. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that one of the accused in Bail Appln.No.5390, 5391 & 5400/2011 : 2 : the cases was released on bail and he made himself scarce. It is submitted that if the petitioner is released on bail, he is likely to indulge in similar criminal activities and he would flee from justice. 4. Taking into account the facts and circumstances, I do not think these are fit cases where bail can be granted. If the bail is granted, it is most likely that the petitioner may indulge in similar offence to the detriment of the general public. It is also likely that the petitioner may abscond. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Applications are dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE skj
