                                    ORDER

Petitioner who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.549 of 2007 of

Kannur Town Police Station for offences punishable under

Sections 143,147,148,324 and 307 read with 34 IPC read with 149

IPC and Sections 3 and 5 of Explosive Substance Act seeks his

enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 25.3.2009.

2. The application was opposed on behalf of the

prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the

petitioner is involved in several other crimes.

3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled

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

nature of the legal 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 at this stage.

This petition is accordingly dismissed.

Dated this the 2nd day of April, 2009

V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE)
