The case is pending before the JFCM, Ottappalam as C.C.No.155/2003. At the fag end of the trial of the said case the petitioner jumped bail. He was, thereafter, arrested and produced before the Magistrate, who dismissed his application for bail and remanded him to judicial custody on 12.2.2007. The application for bail filed by him before the Sessions court, Palakkad was also dismissed. It is, thereafter, that the petitioner has approached this court. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner is accused in several other crimes and the present case itself is one of 2003 which ought to have been disposed of long back but for the abscondance of the petitioner. I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. There is no reason why the petitioner remains in custody till the trial of the case is over. This application is accordingly dismissed. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
