BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8656 of 2010 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.665 of 2010 of Varanthirippilly Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 302 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 08/12/2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, 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 witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioner making himself scarce and B.A.No.8656/2010 2 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 skj
