Ammu v. The State Represented By, the Inspector of Police,

O R D E R The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 118(1), 296(b) and 351(3) of BNS in Crime No.122 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that due to prior enmity, the accused abused the de facto complainant in filthy language, inflicted injuries by assaulting him and also threatened him with dire consequences. Hence the case.

¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and a false complaint has been given against the petitioner due to prior enmity. He also submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He further submitted that the injured was discharged from hospital.

¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of the allegation and further taking note of the fact that the injured was discharged from the hospital and the custody of the petitioner is not required for further investigation, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.

¶7Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on her appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Tirupattur, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties, each for a like sum, to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition that: [a] the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity; [b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police everyday at 10.30 a.m., for a period of one month and thereafter, as and when required further interrogation; [c] the petitioner shall not abscond during during investigation or trial; [d] the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial; [e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560]; [f] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of B.N.S.
