ADV. MR. K.S. SIVAKUMAR, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 1631 of 2009 ===================== Dated, this the 8th day of April, 2009. ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 39 of 2009 of Poonthura Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 302 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 03.02.2009. The petitioner was arrested on 04.02.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the legal injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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. Dated this the 8th day of April, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
