HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bail Application No. 8747 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 10th day of January, 2011. O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C., the petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 to 6 in Crime No.902 of 2010 of Guruvayoor Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 324 and 307 r/w Section 149 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 20.12.2010. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the first petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities and antecedents of the first 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 first petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the B.A. No. 8747/2010 : 2: likelihood of the first petitioner making himself scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the first petitioner at this stage. 4. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the duration of judicial custody undergone by petitioners 2 to 6, the present stage of investigation of the case and the other circumstances of the case etc., I am inclined to grant bail to petitioners 2 to 6. Accordingly, petitioners 2 to 6 are directed to be released on bail w.e.f 19.01.2011 on their executing a bond for `15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned and subject to the following conditions: 1. Petitioners 2 to 6 shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. Petitioners 2 to 6 shall make themselves available for interrogation as and when required by the police at any time till the filing of the final report. 3.. Petitioners 2 to 6 shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor B.A. No. 8747/2010 : 3: shall they attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. Petitioners 2 to 6 shall not commit any offence while on bail. If petitioners 2 to 6 commit breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to them shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed in part as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
