Bail Application No.5789 of 2010

ORDER
Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.230 of 2010 of
Kazhakuttam Police Station for an offence punishable under
Section 376 read with 511 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail.
The petitioner was arrested on 4.9.2010.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application
submitting, inter alia, that the petitioner who is a married man
aged 35 years had attempted to ravish the victim aged 16 years.
He was the driver of the vehicle owned by the victim’s father and
is involved in three 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 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.
V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE)
