RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 8563 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 03-01-2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No. 1634 of 2010 of Kadakkal Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 366 A and 376 I.P.C. and Sec. 3(1) (XI) of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 7-11-2010. The petitioner was arrested on 8-11- 2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution contending inter alia that the 12 year old victim belonging to Scheduled Caste and hailing from a very poor family was enticed away promising to buy her a churidar and was brutally ravished. 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 Bail Application No. 8563 of 2010 -:2:- 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. Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2011. Sd/-V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) /true copy/ P.S. to Judge
