Bail Application No.8721 of 2010
---------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 7th day of January, 2011
ORDER
The petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.965 of
2010 of Peramangalam Police Station for offences punishable
under Sections 511 of 376 I.P.C, seeks his enlargement on bail.
The petitioner was arrested on 10/12/2010.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application submitting inter alia that the petitioner who is
employed as security guard in the hospital in question had
sexually assaulted the victim girl aged 12 years who was
hospitalised there for an operation on the next day.
3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of
the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the propensities
of the petitioner 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
B.A.No.8721/2010
2
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.
