Petitioners were arrested on 7.5.2007. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the duration of judicial custody of the petitioners, the present stage of investigation of the case and the other circumstances of the case, 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 scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This application is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR JUDGE mrcs
