OF POLICE, KOYILANDY POLICE STATION, KOZHIKODE, BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HIRTHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.6167 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 11th day of October, 2010 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 & 2 in Crime No.608 of 2010 of Koyilandy Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420, 468, 471 & 473 read with Section 34 IPC, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 31/8/2010. 2. The learned public prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioners had forged the seal of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Koyilandy and used the same for creating documents by forging the signature of the Magistrate and that both are involved in five other crimes of similar nature. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained, and the other facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the Bail Appln.No.6167/2010 : 2 : 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 skj
