BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: dmb V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................. Bail Application No.7087 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 9th day of November, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No.820/2010 of Nedumbassery Airport Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 419, 468, 471 I.P.C. and Sections 12 (1)(b), (d) of Passport Act and Sections 13 and 14 of Foreigners Act, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 17.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioners who are Iranians were found travelling with forged Lithuanian passport and other forged documents and it is suspected that they were indulging in espionage. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the Bail Application No.7087 of 2010 2 petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) dmb
