RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1061 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 14th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.2, 5, 6 and 9 in Crime No.1 of 2011 of Pattambi Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 323 and 302 read with Section 149 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 01.01.2011. Petitioners 2, 5 and 6 were arrested on 03.01.2011 and the 9th petitioner was arrested on 06.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
