THE CIRCLE INSPECTOR OF POLICE, KAZHAKUTTAM, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No.5789 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 24.09. 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.230 of 2010 of Kazhakuttam Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 376 read with 511 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 4.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the petitioner who is a married man aged 35 years had attempted to ravish the victim aged 16 years. He was the driver of the vehicle owned by the victim's father and is involved in three other crimes. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
