BY ADV. SRI.T.R.S.KUMAR SRI.E.M.SUNIL KUMAR RESPONDENTS: --------------- 1. STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. 2. S.I. OF POLICE, IRIKKUR POLICE STATION, KANNUR DISTRICT. 3. C.I. OF POLICE, IRIKKUR POLICE STATION, KANNUR DISTRICT. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 30/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.5058 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 30th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.2 in Crime No.258 of 2011 of Irikkur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 4 & 5 of Explosive Substances Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 16/06/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner was found in possession of 120 litres of detonator, 2.3 Kgs. of gun powder and fuse wires without any licence. 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 Bail Appln.No.5058/2011 : 2 : from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 30th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
