RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 6518 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 18th October, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the first accused in Crime No. 704 of 2010 of Mannuthy Police Station, Thrissur District for an offence punishable under Sec. 395 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 18-09-2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is a known gunda in that area and involved in 11 other crimes relating to offences punishable under Sections 302, 379 and 392 etc. 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 Bail Application No. 6518 of 2010 -2- 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 18th day of October, 2010. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
