SALIM THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.K. MOHANAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No.2315 of 2010 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of April, 2010 O R D E R This is an application for regular bail filed by the petitioner, who is 2nd accused in Crime No. 529 of 2009 of Ettumanoor Police Station, in which offences punishable under Section 380 r/w Section 34 of I.P.C. is involved. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused committed theft of Maruti Car KL-5X 3292 on the midnight of 17.9.2009 which was parked in the car porch of the defacto complainant and thereby committed the above offence. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Public Prosecutor. 4. The petitioner is arrested only on 23.3.2010. The investigation in this case is in progress. Considering the nature of the offences involved in the B.A No.2315 of 2010 2 case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, especially since the release of the petitioner at this stage is likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no guarantee that he will not influence the witnesses and interfere with the investigation. In the result, there is no merit in the petition for bail and accordingly, the same is dismissed.
