Kumar v. State of Tamilnadu Rep by Inspector of Police, Melur

ORDER

The present Criminal Original Petition has been filed seeking cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to the respondents 2 and 3 by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Madurai, in Crl.M.P.No.1229 of 2025, dated

29.04.2025.

2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the respondents 2 and 3 have collected a sum of Rs.48 lakhs from the 235 persons and cheated them. After granting anticipatory bail by the learned Judicial Magistrate, the first respondent police has not recovered any money or security from the respondents 2 and 3. Hence, he seeks cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to the respondents 2 and 3.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the respondents 2 and 3 would submit that A1 has already paid a sum of Rs.8 lakhs and the respondents 2 and 3 are cooperated for the enquiry. Hence, he opposes to allow this petition.

4.Heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and perused the materials available on record.

5.It is an admitted fact that the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Madurai, has granted anticipatory bail to respondents 2 and 3. The learned Sessions Judge has recorded reasons for granting bail after taking into consideration the nature of the offences, the pendency of the case in O.S. No. 82 of 2022 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Madurai, the earlier closure of complaints by the DCB, Sivagangai, and the Superintendent of Police, Madurai, as well as the fact that A1 has already paid a sum of Rs.8 lakhs. The learned Sessions Judge has also considered the limited overt acts attributed against the respondents 2 and 3, imposed conditions, and the said conditions have been complied with by them. The grounds raised by the petitioner in the present petition have no merit and therefore, the learned Sessions Judge has passed a reasoned order and no grounds are made out to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to respondents 2 and 3.

6.In view of the above discussion, this Court does not find any infirmity in the order passed by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Madurai, granting anticipatory bail. Accordingly, there are no grounds to cancel the anticipatory bail already granted to the respondents 2 and 3.

7.In the result, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
