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. 7067 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 9th day of November, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos. 1 to 3 in Crime No.158/2010 of Mangalam Dam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 324, 326 and 307 read with 149 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 24.10.2010. The petitioners were arrested on 24.10.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that it is too early to accept the petitioners' contention that they were falsely implicated due to political animosity. The injured suffered a bone deep lacerated wound 8x1 cms on his scalp. 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, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution Bail Application No. 7067 of 2010 2 witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the 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
