The petitioner was arrested on 07/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the 12 years old girl who is a member of the Scheduled Caste was enticed away promissing to give her dresses and the accused took her in a bike to Kottakkal Agricultural Farm and ravished. The victim who is hailing from a poor family succumbed to the allurement resulting in the accused committing the above offences. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner 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 Bail Appln.No.8011/2010 : 2 : 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
