M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No. 5942 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 29th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.159/2010 of Peruvanthanam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 294(b) and 308 read with 34 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 22.6.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 22.6.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contenting inter-alia that the petitioner was travelling in the company of A1, who is a notorious criminal involved in several cases and the petitioner is also involved in a murder case. Since the charge has already been filed and the case stands committed to the Court of Sessions, the petitioner is likely to flee from justice in case he is released on bail. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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 Bail Application No. 5942 of 2010 2 scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The petitioner may move the trial court for his enlargement on bail. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) dmb
