PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------- Bail Appln. No.4810 of 2011 ---------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 to 3 in Crime No.1500 of 2011 of Karunagappaly Police Station for offences punishable under Section 3 read with Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act & Section 16 of the Kerala Kerosene Control Order, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 13/06/2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 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. Dated this the 24th day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
