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

17.04.2026 for the alleged offences under Sections 296(b) and 103 of the BNS, 2023 in Crime No.34 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail. Page2 of 6

¶2The case of the prosecution is that due to certain matrimonial disputes between the petitioner and the daughter of the deceased, the petitioner allegedly went to the house of the deceased, picked up a quarrel and attacked her with a knife, causing grievous injuries. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that petitioner has no criminal antecedents. He further submitted the petitioner got enraged with his mother-in-law on account of her support to his wife, against whom this petitioner has got matrimonial discord. He further submitted that the occurrence current took place on 17.04.2026 and remanded on the same day. He further submitted the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the Petitioner.

¶4Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the Respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the major portion of the investigation had been completed. He further submitted that the petitioner has been incarcerated since 17.04.2026. However, fairly conceded that the petitioner has no criminal antecedents. However, he opposed the grant of bail to the Petitioner.

¶5I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions and Page3 of 6 perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the facts and circumstances of the case; taking note of the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side); considering the totality of the circumstances, and upon the fact the petitioner has no criminal antecedents and upon the submission made by the learned Govt Advocate (Crl.Side) that major portion of the investigation has been completed, considering the period of incarceration of the petitioner, this Court is of the firm view, further custody of the petitioner for the purpose of investigation is not required. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions.

¶7Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Udumalpet, and on further conditions that: [a] 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'].
