BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No. 6679 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 19th day of October, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No.868/2010 of Town East Police Station, Thrissur for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with 34 IPC, seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 9.10.2010. The petitioners were arrested on 10.10.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the petitioners had collected Rs.13,00,000/- and eight persons were cheated on false promise for securing admission for medicine in other states and the investigation is still in progress. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence Bail Application No. 6679 of 2010 2 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) dmb
