¶2The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the petitioner and the defacto complainant regarding previous enmity. Due to the which, the petitioner along with others had abused and assaulted the defacto complainant with knife and caused injuries to him. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent, the petitioner has not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution and he has been falsely implicated in this case and the co-accused were enlarged on bail. Hence prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and further submitted that, apart from this case, the petitioner is having five previous cases including 4 NDPS cases. He further submits that the petitioners earlier anticipatory bail Page2 of 6 petitions were dismissed by this Court vide order dated 07.10.2025, 29.01.2026,

25.03.2026 in Crl.OP.Nos.22833 of 2025, 1909 and 7508 of 2026 respectively. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶5Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) for the respondent police and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the rival submissions, nature of offences, injured discharged from the hospital, though the petitioner is having five previous cases, they are not similar kind of offences and in all cases bail was granted to him, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner on certain conditions.

¶7Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thiruttani 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 Page3 of 6 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 conditions that: [a] the petitioner and 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.
