K.S.SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss K.HEMA, J. ------------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.5419 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of September, 2008 O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 457, 380 and 461 IPC. The petitioner was once granted bail and he absconded during trial, after examination of 14 witnesses. He was arrested thereafter on 4.8.2008 and he was remanded to judicial custody. 3. This petition is opposed. Learned public prosecutor submitted that the case now stands posted for examination of witnesses to 9.9.2008. 4. Learned Magistrate has noted that the petitioner is an accused in three more cases and hence, if the petitioner is released on bail, there is a possibility of absconding and it will delay the disposal of the case. I am satisfied that the bail application was dismissed for valid reasons. Hence, at this fag end, it may not be proper to grant bail to the petitioner since, he is likely to abscond. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE csl
