SIVAKUMAR, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 4207 of 2008 ====================== Dated, this the 8th day of July, 2008. ORDER Petitioner who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.179/CR/KNR/2007 of CBCID, Kasaragod for offences punishable under Sections 302 and 201 r/w Section 34 and Section 202 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 10.06.2007. The petitioner was arrested on 30.04.2008. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of injuries sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioner, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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 8th day of July, 2008. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
