RESPONDENT(S): STATE: -------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, KOCHI-31. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S. BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.8802 of 2010 ================================ Dated this the 5th day of January, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.402/2010 of Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 454,308 and 461 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 16.04.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 27.11.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that 15.8 Kgs of gold were robbed from Rajadhani Jewellery in Kasaragod after making a hole on the wall of the jewellery. 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. 8802 of 2010 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. Dated this the 5 th day of January, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
