BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SHRI.K.S.SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ----------------------------------------- B.A.No.5835 of 2008 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th September, 2008 O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 457, 380 and 461 of Indian Penal Code. Petitioner was originally granted bail in C.C.No.183/2002. But he absconded after examination of 14 witnesses. Hence, non bailable warrant was issued against him and he was arrested on 4.8.2008 and he is in custody since then. The bail application was rejected by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate on the ground that it is likely that the petitioner will abscond. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the trial is in progress. 4. This court dismissed an application just four days prior to the filing of this petition in B.A.No.5419/08, since the trial is in progress. As sufficient number of witnesses are examined, at this stage of trial, I do not think fit to grant bail to the petitioner. Petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
