G RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT/STATE: ----------------------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.1665 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.79 of 2011 of Kundara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 511 of 376(f), 506(i), 324, 450, 377 & 201 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 15/01/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner aged 42 years who is the maternal uncle of the victim who is 11 year old girl had sexually abused the girl resulting in the girl developing an infection around her vulva. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, 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. Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
