BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1411 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 28th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No. 49 of 2011 of Thrissur East Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 20(b)(11)B of NDPS Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 06.01.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 06.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who hails from Orissa, was found in possession of narcotic drug (2.310 kgs. of ganga) at M.G. Road in Thrissur and he has not so far accounted for the source from which the narcotic drug was procured by him. 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, 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 B.A. No. 1411/2011 : 2: 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 //True Copy// P.A to Judge.
