BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/02/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1059 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 17th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.797 of 2010 of Bekal Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 324, 368 and 427 r/w Section 149 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 25.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in four other crimes of similar nature. 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. rv
