BY ADV. SRI.S.RAJEEV RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT: ------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REP.BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM (CRIME NO.313/2011 OF PATHANAPURAM POLICE STATION, KOLLAM DISTRICT). PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.2357 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 5th day of April, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in Crime No.313/2011 of Pathanapuram Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 376 and 326 read with 34 IPC and Section 3(xi) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 13.03.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 17.03.2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
