The petitioner was arrested on 04/12/2010. 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. 4. Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-I, Punalur shall dispose of the case expeditiously and that at any rate Bail Appln.No.1053/2011 : 2 : before the middle of April, 2011 having regard to the fact that the petitioner is an under trial prisoner who has been languishing in the jail from 04/12/2010 onwards. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 25th day of February, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
