SRI.C.B.SREEKUMAR RESPONDENT(S): ------------------ STATE OF KERALA, REP.BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM (CRIME No.181 OF 2011 OF VAIKOM POLICE STATION PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 27/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.4761 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 27th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.181/2011 of of Vaikom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 465,467,468 and 471, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 26.11.2008. The petitioner was arrested on 05.05.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in 2 other crimes in which bogus tax receipts were produced before the J.F.C.M, Vaikom to enable the accused persons to be enlarged on bail. 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 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 B.A. No. 4761 of 2011 2 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) sj
