THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/05/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * B.A. NO. 2554 of 2007 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated, this the 2nd day of May 2007 ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2 and 4 to 7 in Crime No.295 of 2007 of Kodungallur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 427, 452 and 506 (2) read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 11-4-2007. Petitioners surrendered on 17-4-2007. 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 petitioners 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
