SRI.SOJAN MICHEAL RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT -------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA (C.I. OF POLICE, MANJESWARAM POLICE STATION) REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.C.S. HRITHWIK. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: rs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.3350 of 2011 ============================== Dated this the 6th day of May, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.227/2011 of Manjeshwaram Police Station for an offence punishable under Sections 302 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 19.03.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that the deceased, aged 26 years, was stabbed to death as a measure of vengeance in connection with hawala transaction. 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) sj
