BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2008, ALONG WITH BA NO. 4301 OF 2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bail Application Nos.4088 & 4301 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 7th day of July 2008 O R D E R Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in C.R. No.278/2008 of Kasaragod Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 323, 324, 302, 120B, 153A read with Section 149 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 14.4.2008. The petitioners were arrested on 16.4.2008. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of injuries sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence 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. Dated this the 7th day of July 2008 V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE css/
