Bail Application No.6696 of 2010
------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 26th day of October, 2010
ORDER
The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 & 2 in Crime
No.2734 of 2010 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam for
offences punishable under Sections 406 & 420 read with
Section 34 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The
petitioners were arrested on 26/9/2010.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application contending inter alia that the petitioners and the
other accused persons after hiring five vehicles on rent were
subsequently making money out of it by pledging the same as
if the vehicles belonged to them.
3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences,
nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the
relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury
sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, the sentiments
of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and
circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the
petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence
and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the
Bail Appln.No.6696/2010
: 2 :
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
