RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 5135 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 1st day of July, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the 9th accused in Crime No.499 of 2011 of Sulthan Bathery Police Station, Wayanad for offences punishable under Section 420 I.P.C., and Sections 3 and 4 of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 11.06.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is the Managing Director of three companies by name Bizzare Business Corporation Ltd., Bizzare Global Marketing Ltd. and Bizzare International Ltd., had, along with his accomplices, swindled Rs.110 crores by inducing innumerable persons to have transactions with him in the money chain business and in Wayanad District alone 36 crimes have been registered against the petitioner. 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 B.A. No. 5135/2011 2 propensities 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 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. sd/- V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv //True Copy// P.A to Judge.
