Subramaniyan v. The State Rep By, the Inspector of Police

ORDER The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offence under Sections 296(b), 316 (2), 318(4) and 351(2) of BNS, 2023 in Crime No.150 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that based upon the advertisement given by the petitioner, the de facto has invested a sum of Rs.25 lakhs. According to the prosecution, the petitioner has falsely induced the de facto complainant to invest such an amount. Hence, the complaint.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to co-operate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and, upon instructions, submitted that there is a loan transaction between the petitioner and the de facto complainant. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Page3 of 5

¶5While looking into factual position, according to the prosecution, the amount was paid on 23.01.2026 and the FIR came to be registered on

30.05.2026. From the submissions made by either side, there appears to be a loan transaction between the petitioner and the de facto complainant.

¶6Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case, taking note of the submissions made by the learned counsel on both sides, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to 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 (15) days from the date on which the order copy is made ready, before the learned District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Sholinganallur, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions:
