BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1037 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.79 of 2011 of Kundara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 511 of 376, 506(i), 324, 450, 377 and 201 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 15.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is the uncle of the victim aged 11 years, had sexually abused the child. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
