PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: dmb V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No. 1702 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 17th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1316 of 2010 of Koratty Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 302 I.P.C, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 31.12.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 31.12.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the petitioner is a notorious criminal, who is involved in fifteen other crimes. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, 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 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 17th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. dmb
