The petitioner was arrested on 14-07- 2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution contending inter alia that apart from the offence of rape committed on the victim aged 23 years, the petitioner is also an accused in yet another case and also an accused in a 498 A case. 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, Bail Application No. 5974 of 2010 -:2:- 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 30th day of September 2010. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
