BY ADV. SRI.K.B.ARUNKUMAR RESPONDENT: --------------- THE STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, NADAPURAM POLICE STATION, REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4960 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.4 in Crime No.33 of 2011 of Nadapuram Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 447, 427 read with Section 149 I.P.C. and Sections 3 & 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 20/01/2011. The petitioner surrendered on 01/06/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner and others had hurled explosives at the house of the victim endangering human life and causing damage to the building. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the Bail Appln.No.4960/2011 : 2 : 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. Dated this the 21st day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
