HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.79 of 2011 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.9 in Crime No.1738 of 2010 of Kollam Easst Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 120B, 143, 147, 148, 323, 324, 307 & 302 read with Section 149 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was surrendered on 18/11/2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 B.A.No.79/2011 2 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 skj
