                               ORDER

Petitioner, who is the 2nd accused in Crime No.159/2010 of

Peruvanthanam Police Station for offences punishable under

Sections 341, 294(b) and 308 read with 34 IPC, seeks his

enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 22.6.2010.

The petitioner was arrested on 22.6.2010.

2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application

contenting inter-alia that the petitioner was travelling in the

company of A1, who is a notorious criminal involved in several

cases and the petitioner is also involved in a murder case. Since

the charge has already been filed and the case stands committed

to the Court of Sessions, the petitioner is likely to flee from justice

in case he is released on bail.

3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled

against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the

nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and

circumstances of the case, 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. The petitioner may move the trial

court for his enlargement on bail.

This petition is accordingly dismissed.
