Saravanan v. The State Rep by

ORDER The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on

02.04.2026 for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 126(2), 115(2), 311, 351(3) of BNS Act in Crime No.208 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail. Page2 of 6

¶2The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner committed robbery of a sum of Rs. 1,500/- from the de facto complainant at knife-point. Hence, the present case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the respondent police have registered a false case against the petitioner. The petitioner is under judicial custody since 02.04.2026. He further submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Therefore, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioner has seven previous cases registered against him. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner.

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

¶6Considering the rival submissions made on either side, the nature of the offences alleged against the accused, and the nominal amount of money involved in this case, and taking into consideration that the investigation is still pending, that the petitioner has been enlarged on bail in all the previous cases, and that those cases are not similar in nature, this Court is inclined to grant bail Page3 of 6 to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions: [a] Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on condition to 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 learned Judicial Magistrate-2, Poonamallee and on further conditions that: [b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent Police daily at 10.30 a.m. until further orders; [c] the petitioner shall not commit any offence similar to the offence of which she is accused, or suspected, or of the commission of which she is suspected; [d] the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial; [e] the petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence; [f] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Judicial 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 Page4 of 6 the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].
