PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.576 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 1st day of February, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.1306 of 2010 of Udayamperoor Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 308 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 06.11.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application, contending, inter alia, that the victim is none other than the wife of the petitioner who has inflicted 8 incised injuries. The petitioner is an accused in 7 other crimes including proceedings under the KAPPA. In case the petitioner is released on bail he will pose grave threat to the victim besides to the society at large. 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.576 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. 4. This petition is accordingly dismissed. The courts at their respective level shall expedite the trial to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is completed expeditiously. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
