PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 12/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No.1052 of 2009 =============================== DATED: 12.03.2009 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos.1,2 & 4 in Crime No.49 of 2009 of Nedumangad Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 448 & 302 read with 34 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 21.1.09. The petitioners were arrested on 23.1.2009,24.01.2009 & 30.1.09 respectively. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of the legal injury , 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. Dated this the 12th day of March, 2009 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
