THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 3220 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated: 3rd May, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 26th accused in Crime No. 346 of 2011 of North Paravur Police Station, Ernakulam District for offences punishable under Sections 366 A, 354, 376 (2)g, 506 (1), 342 and 202 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 8-04-2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 3rd day of May, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE)
