The occurrence took place on 24.12.06. The petitioners surrendered on 30.1.07. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the duration of the judicial custody of the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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) aks
