ORDER
Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. RC-
03/S/09/CBI/SCB/Chennai arising out of Crime No. 68 of 2006
of Malampuzha Police Station, Palakkad District for offences
punishable under Sections 363, 367, 377, 302 and 201 I.P.C.
seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on
10-2-2010.
2. The learned Standing Counsel for the C.B.I. opposed
the application contending inter alia that the case stands
posted for framing of charge and the trial will be conducted soon
thereafter and the petitioner had subjected a 14 year old boy to
unnatural sex and had subsequently he had brutally
manhandled him and thrown the boy into the Malampuzha dam
from where the boy died due to drowning. The petitioner was
B.A. No. 6436 of 2010 -:2:-
involved in yet another case of Sec. 377 I.P.C. If the petitioner
is released on bail, he will definitely make himself scarce since
it was after his successful abscondence for several years that
investigation of the the case was eventually handed over to the
C.B.I.
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 , the sentiments of the near
relative of the victim 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 at this stage.
This petition is accordingly dismissed.
