BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No.3064 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 3rd day of May, 2011 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.82 of 2011 of Kanjiramkulam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 451,376,506(ii) and 34 IPC, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 22.03.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the victims were two girls aged 13 and 15 years respectively and they were subjected to gang rape by the petitioners. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
