BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. R1 & R2 BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No.5949 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 29th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in Crime No.459/2010 of Kumbla Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 498(A) and 304(B) IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 8.8.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 17.8.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contenting inter-alia that after marriage on 21.1.2010, petitioner's wife was locked up in the room and denied food pursuant to the incessant demand for dowry and on the ill fated day (8.8.2010) she went out of the matrimonial home and committed suicide by jumping into the well. The matrimony lasted only for 61/2 months. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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 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) dmb
