RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 1559 of 2009 ===================== Dated, this the 26th day of March, 2009. ORDER Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No.357 of 2008 of Kazhakuttom Police Station for offences punishable under Section 427 r/w Section 34 IPC and Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 27.10.2008. The petitioner was arrested on 12.01.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the legal injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the 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. Dated this the 26th day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
