STATE REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 13/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.4446 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 13 th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 6th accused in Crime No.336/2010 of Angamaly Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 406 and 420 read with 34 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 24.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in several cases involving theft of motor vehicles and has interstate nexus in his operations and if he is released on bail, there is every possibility of his fleeing from justice. 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 B.A. No. 4446 of 2011 2 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 13th day of June, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
