The petitioner was arrested on 20/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner had produced forged tax receipts in Bail Applications filed before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Chalakudy. 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.173/2011 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
