BREEZE, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 700 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 3rd day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.271 of 2002 of Anchal Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 379 r/w Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 05.07.2001. The petitioner was arrested on 13.12.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is involved in yet another crime, had committed the offence of theft of a motorcycle in the year 2002 and had jumped bail after he was enlarged on bail during crime stage and he had to be arrested pursuant to a warrant issued by the trial court. The case is pending trial before Judicial First Class Magistrate-I, Punalur. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities and antecedents of the petitioner, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioner B.A. No. 700/2011 : 2: 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. rv
