PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.632 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.4 in Crime No.250 of 2010 of Karuvarakundu Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 489B read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 20/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is A4 is the person who had distributed fake notes of 1000 Rupee denomination to A1 and others and that the investigation of the case is still in progress and the source of the fake notes is yet to be found out. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner 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 Bail Appln.No.632/2011 : 2 : 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
