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. 1033 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 18th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1251 of 2010 of Paravoor Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 302, 397 and 201 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 28.10.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 10.11.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is a neighbour to and manual labour in the house of the deceased who was 65 year old woman, assassinated her and had decamped with 11 1/2 sovereigns of gold ornaments and a mobile phone and her husband is lying paralysed. 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, 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 B.A. No. 1033/2011 : 2: 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. rv
