RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No.5616 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 20th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1364/2010 of Palarivattom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 31.7.2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained 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) dmb
