R Ramprasanth v. State Represented by the Inspector of Police

ORDER The petitioner, who apprehends arrest for alleged offences under Sections 85, 316(2), 82(1) & 82(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, in Crime No.3 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant is the wife of the petitioner, and their marriage was solemnized on 05.12.2024. They lived Page2 of 5 together for barely a month before differences of opinion arose. They have been living separately since February 2025, and the defacto complainant subsequently lodged a complaint against the petitioner before the respondent police. Hence, this case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner's third wife has filed the present complaint based on false allegations, and note that the co-accused have already been granted bail by this Court in Crl. O.P. No.7080 of 2025. He further submitted that the charge sheet has been filed in C.C. No.211 of 2025, and the final report has also been submitted before the learned Judicial Magistrate at Pallavaram. He further submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case, the learned counsel stated that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions imposed by this Court and, therefore, prayed for anticipatory bail.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution's case and submitted that a Look Out Circular bearing Ref.No.2025/11751/001661 dated 11.03.2025 had been issued against the petitioner. However, the learned Government Advocate fairly conceded that the Look Out Circular was subsequently kept in abeyance in W.P. Crl. No. 1610 of 2026 and W.M.P. No. 566 of 2026, on the condition that the petitioner appears before the trial court on or before 07.08.2026. Page3 of 5

¶5Considering the factual position and noting that this case dates back to the year 2025, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required at this length of time. Consequently, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail, subject to certain conditions:

¶6Accordingly, 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 Judicial Magistrate, Pallavaram, 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:

(a) If the petitioner fails to surrender before the concerned learned Magistrate within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled;

(b) The sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the application for surety ship (Judicial Form No.46 annexed to 'The Criminal Rules of Practice, 2019]'. The learned Magistrate shall obtain a copy of any one of identify proofs to ensure their identity;

(c) The petitioner shall report before the respondent Page4 of 5 police daily at 10.30 a.m. for a period of two weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation;

(d) On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate actions against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on anticipatory bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji v. State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560];

(e) If the petitioner thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of BNS Act. 23-07-2026 GBI To
