                          B.A. No. 3276 of 2008
                   ======================
                  Dated, this the 22nd day of 2008.

                                  ORDER

Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No.198 of 2008 of

Shornur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 8(1)

and (2) of the Abkari Act seeks their enlargement on bail. The

occurrence took place on 03.05.2008. The petitioners were arrested

on 03.05.2008.

2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution.

3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of

injuries sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the

judicial custody undergone by the petitioners, the present stage of

investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am

satisfied that if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely

influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the

likelihood of the petitioners making himself scarce and fleeing from

justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at

this stage.

This petition is accordingly dismissed.

V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
