Sd/- Assistant Registrar. Kss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.471 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 to 4 in Crime No.1011 of 2010 of Mangalam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 380 & 457 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 20/12/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in three other cases all involving theft of 200 to 450 rubber sheets. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioners and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view 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 Bail Appln.No.471/2011 : 2 : justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj The words “Mangalam Police Station” occurring in the 2nd line of the first paragraph of the final order dated 27/01/2011 in B.A 471/2011 are corrected and substituted as “Vadakkancherry Police Station” as per order dated 01/02/2011 in Crl.MA 521/2011 in B.A 471/2011.
