RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No.5595 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 20th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 4th accused in Crime No.67/2008 of Veeyapuram Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 395 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 26.9.2008. The petitioner was arrested on 10.8.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter-alia that there were altogether seven accused persons, who came in a Maruthi car and snatched the gold chain of the complainant and that the petitioner is involved in other similar crimes. 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 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) dmb
