RAMKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - BAIL APPLICATION NO.361 OF 2007 - - - - - - - - - ----------------------- - - - - - - DATED THIS THE 23rd DAY OF JANUARY, 2007 O R D E R Petitioner who is the second accused in Crime No.383/06 of Town South Police Station, Palakkad for offences punishable under sections 143, 147, 148, 452, 324, 326, 427 and 307 read with section 149 IPC and section 27 of the Arms Act, 1959, seeks his enlargement on bail. 2. The occurrence took place on 17.10.2006 during which the accused persons are alleged to have attacked the de facto complainant with deadly weapons like sword, iron rod, etc. at a time when the de facto complainant was undergoing treatment in the hospital. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the petitioner is a known 'gunda' in that area against whom there are 8 other crimes. The petitioner was arrested only on 5.1.2007. Persons like the petitioner who commit such daring crimes by even trespassing into a hospital and attacking the patients undergoing treatment will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. Investigation is still in the preliminary stage. I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn
