Krishnasamy @ Kumar v. The State of Tamilnadu

ORDER The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offence under Section 406 and 420 of IPC in Crime No.6 of 2026, on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The allegation against the petitioner is that he claiming himself as Driver in the Collector Office and promised to secure a Computer Operator job to the defacto complainant's son and collected a sum of Rs.5,50,000/- in various dates and subsequently cheated them. Hence, the complaint.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that admittedly in the FIR, alleged payments were made during the year 2019 and FIR only registered after lapse of six years. Due to the financial dispute, the complaint has been registered. He further submitted that the petitioner has not involved in any of the offences as alleged by the defacto complainant and he is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Counsel for State of TN (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent Police, reported that the FIR was registered only recently and the investigation is pending. The petitioner, by making false promise, collected money from the defacto complainant and cheated. He further submitted that the petitioner has no previous case. However, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶5Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for State of TN (Crl.Side) for the respondent.

¶6Considering the fact that the alleged money transaction happened during the year 2019 and the FIR has been registered and he demanded back money after lapse of six years and and there is no previous case as against the petitioner and also considering the nature of purpose, the money has paid, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions: [a] Accordingly, the petitioner is 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 Judicial Magistrate No.I, Karur, on condition that the petitioner shall 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 concerned and on further conditions that: [b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of four weeks and thereafter as and when required for the interrogation. [c] the petitioner shall not commit any offences of similar nature. [d] the petitioner 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 petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner 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].
