The petitioner was arrested on 18.2.2009. 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 legal 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. Dated this the 24th day of March, 2009 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
