BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. ................................... Bail Application No. 6718 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 26th day of October, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1445 of 2010 of Thodupuzha Police Station for offences punishable under Section 511 of 379, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 12.9.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 15.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the petitioner is involved in two other cases in which the offence involved is one punishable under Section 379 IPC. In the present case, he was attempting to commit theft of a 'Tata Sumo' car and was taken into custody by the police on 12.9.2010 and he escaped from police custody and could be apprehended again only on 15.9.2010. 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 Bail Application No. 6718 / 2010 2 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) dmb
