THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8788 of 2010 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1, 6 & 7 in Crime No.1340 of 2010 of Njarakkal Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 395 & 412 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 21/12/2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves B.A.No.8788/2010 2 scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
