BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8286 of 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.414 of 2006 of Pooyapally Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 376 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 30/11/2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 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
