BY ADV. SRI.T.A.UNNIKRISHNAN SRI.K.SATHEESH KUMAR SRI.K.S.PRAVEEN RESPONDENT:COMPLAINANT: --------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.374 of 2011 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.498 of 2010 of Malayinkeezhu Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 452, 324 & 363 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 29/12/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner had criminally trespassed into the house of the de facto complainant and had abducted an 8 years old girl. The petitioner is involved in yet another crime. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of B.A.No.374/2011 2 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
