Palanisamy v. The State of Tamilnadu Rep by

ORDER The petitioners who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 115(2), 118(1) and 351(3) of BNS, 2023 in Crime No.141 of 2026, seek anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that, owing to previous quarrels, the petitioner, with an intention to harm the de facto complainant, attacked him with a blunt object, causing a deep cut injury on his leg. The de facto complainant sustained grievous injuries and, based on his complaint, the respondent police registered the present case.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that this is the second anticipatory bail application. The earlier application was dismissed by this Court on the ground that the injured had not been discharged from the hospital. It is further submitted that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. The petitioners are ready to cooperate with the investigation and abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, they seek the relief of anticipatory bail. Page2 of 6

4.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police opposed the petition and submitted that though the injured has been discharged from the hospital, he had sustained grievous injuries due to the attack by the petitioners. Considering the seriousness of the allegations, he prayed for dismissal of the anticipatory bail petition.

5.This Court had earlier declined the relief of anticipatory bail on the ground that the injured had not been discharged from the hospital. Since the injured has now been discharged, and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that the custodial interrogation of the petitioners is no longer required. Hence. this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.

¶6Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned II Judicial Magistrate , Bhavani, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a separate bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five thousand only) each 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, and subject to the further condition that the each petitioners shall pay a sum of Rs.10,000/- [totally Rs.30000/-] directly to the Page3 of 6 de facto complainant and produce the acknowledgement evidencing such payment before the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate concern at the time of furnishing sureties, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further conditions that: [a] the petitioners 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. [b] the petitioners shall appear before the respondent police daily at
