The occurrence took place on 7.5.07 and the petitioner was arrested on the same day. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the duration of the judicial custody of the petitioner, the present stage of investigation 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) aks
