PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 14/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4367 of 2011 ------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.397 of 2011 of Koyilandy Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420 & 468 of I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 05/05/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner had cheated the kidney patient as well as the Welfare Committee and had obtained a sum of `8,50,000/-. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the party, 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 14th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
