HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 25/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 3657 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated: 25-05-2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.312/2011 of Kalady Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 376 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 8-4-2011. The petitioner was arrested on 13-04-2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution contending inter alia that the 15 year old victim who is a 10th standard student at Kalady was enticed through the mobile phone by the petitioner who is residing at Ottappalam and he got her down to Lakkidi in Palakkad District and the girl was taken to h is maternal grandmother's house and ravished her and thereafter left her in the lurch . 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 B/.A. No.3657 of 2011 -:2:- 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. Dated this the 25th day of May, 2011. Sd/-V.
