ORDER
Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in Crime No.511/2010 of
Kattakada Police Station for offences punishable under Sections
302, 498(A) and 306 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The
occurrence took place on 25.8.2010. The petitioner was arrested
on 27.8.2010.
2. The application was opposed on behalf of the
prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the
petitioner, who is a citizen of Denmark was already having a wife
and children at Denmark and it was his quarrel against his
present wife’s mother which resulted in his wife (A2) killing the
infant child and committing suicide.
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.
