¶22

Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 1251 of 2010 of Paravoor Police Station, Kollam for offences punishable under Sections 302, 397 and 201 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 28.10.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 09.11.2010.

¶23

The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that an old woman was strangulated to death for committing theft of 11 sovereigns of gold ornaments and the final report has already been filed and the case stands committed to the Sessions Court.

¶24

Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, 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 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.
