BREEZ, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 19/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 1295 of 2009 ====================== Dated, this the 19th day of March, 2009. ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No.76 of 2009 of Taliparamba Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 489-B and 489-C, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 06.02.2009. The petitioner was arrested on 06.02.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of legal injury sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioner, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that 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. Dated this the 19th day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
