BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. V. TEKCHAND. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.1170 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 18th day of February, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 10th accused in Crime No.6/CB- 2/2005 renumbered as CBCID Crime No.166/CR/SI/05 of Cantonment Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram for offences punishable under Sections 489(B), 489(C) and 489(D) read with 34 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 04.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contenting, inter alia, that the petitioner and A9 are the persons who had supplied fake notes to the other accused and the petitioner is involved in yet another case of similar nature and has been convicted also. 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 B.A. No. 1170 of 2011 2 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 18th day of February, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
