BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT ( Criminal Jurisdiction ) Date : 06/04/2026 PRESENT The HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. DHANABAL

¶1Thirumalai Raja @ Thirumalai Kannan,

¶2K.Mani @ Jeyaprathap, ... Petitioners/Accused

Vs State of Tamilnadu Rep by Inspector of Police, Keelathooval Police Station, Ramanathapuram District. Crime No.41/2026.. ... Respondent/Complainant For Petitioner : Mr.K.Sivabalan

For Respondent : Mr.P.Kottai Chamy, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :-For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No.41/2026 on the file of the respondent Police. ORDER : The Court made the following order :-

The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 333, 131, 351(3) of BNS, 2023 in Crime No.41 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that due to political dispute between the parties, on 28.03.2026, the petitioners along with the other accused trespassed into the defacto complainant house and scolded the defacto complainant and his wife with filthy language and assaulted her with dire consequences. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely implicated in this case and they are no way connected in the above said incident. They have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) fairly submits that the occurrence is stated to have arisen due to a political dispute and nobody was injured in this case and the petitioners have no previous cases. However, he opposes to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the rival submissions on either side and the nature of offences charged against the petitioners and also considering the facts that nobody was injured in this case and no previous case is pending against the petitioners, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to the following conditions: [a] Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on anticipatory bail on condition to execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Mudukulathur, Ramanathapuram District, and on further conditions that: [b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police on every Saturday at 10.30 a.m. for a period of four weeks and thereafter as and when required for the interrogation. [c] the petitioners shall not commit any offences of similar nature. [d] the petitioners shall not abscond either during investigation or trial. [e] the petitioners shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial. [f] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Judicial Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioners in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioners released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560]. [g] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.
