Bail Application No.489 of 2011
---------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 27th day of January, 2011
ORDER
The petitioner, who is accused No.14 in Crime No.792
of 2010 of Kalpetta Police Station for offences punishable
under Sections 419, 420, 465, 468, 471 & 120(b) read with
Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The
petitioner was arrested on 22/12/2010.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application contending inter alia that the petitioner acted as
the middleman in the racket consisting of A9 and others who
on the strength of forged advise memos and identity cards
purportedly issued by the Kerala Public Service Commission
procured false appointment orders to A1 to A8 in the
Revenue Department of the Government in Wayanad
District.
3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences,
nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the
relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the
B.A.No.489/2011
2
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 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.
V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
