C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.8805 of 2010 ================================ Dated this the 5th day of January, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.820 of 2010 of Anthikkad Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 420 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 26.11.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that from about 22 persons the petitioner had misappropriated `3,75,00,000/- acting as Post Office R.D.Agent. 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 victims 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj B.A. No.8805 of 2010 2
