RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 6347 of 2010 ................................................ Dated: 18-10-2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 403 of 2007 of Hosdurg Police Station, Kasaragod District for an offence punishable under Sections 489 (B) & (C ) I.P. C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 25-09- 2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution contending inter alia that seven counterfeit notes of Rs. 500/- denomination were recovered from the petitioner in the year 2007 and he has been absconding since then and could be apprehended only on 25-09-2010. There are two other crimes of similar nature against the petitioner. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and Bail Application No. 6347 of 2010 -2- circumstances of the case, 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) ani.
