Dated this the 23rd day of May 2008
O R D E R
Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No.318/2008 of
Vatakara Police Station for an offence punishable under Section
379 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were
arrested on 14.3.2008.
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
themselves 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
