PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 06/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No.1072 of 2009 =============================== DATED: 06.03.2009 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.528 of 2008 of Chalakudy Police Station for offences punishable under Section 399 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 4.7.08. The petitioner was arrested on 11.11.08. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner is involved in 10 other cases and that it was while in custody in connection with three other cases, that his arrest was recorded on 11.11.08. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of the legal injury , the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioner, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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. Dated this the 6th day of March, 2009 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj sj
