BREEZE, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 4692 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the 4th accused in Crime No. 187 of 2011 of Thrikkunnappuzha Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 324, 427 and 307 r/w Section 149 I.P.C., and Section 27(1) of the Arms Act seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 27.05.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 03.06.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is one of the hirelings and the left palm of the victim was amputated with a sword stick and the victim is still undergoing treatment in the Specialists Hospital, Ernakulam. 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. 4692/2011 : 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. sd/- V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv //True Copy// P.A to Judge.
