The petitioners were arrested on 17.3.2008. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of injuries sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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 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 css/
