Advocate.

For Respondent : Mr.N.Balasubramanian Counsel for State of TN (Crl. side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :-For Anticipatory Bail in Cr.No. 97 of 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 191(2), 296(b), 115(2), 118(1), 303 of BNS, in Crime No.97 of 2026, on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that due to previous enmity, these petitioners way laid the defacto complainant and brutally attacked him with hands and also abused him in filthy language and grabbed his cell phone. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely implicated in this case and they are in no way connected in the above said incident. They have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Due to previous motive, with false accusations, the present complaint has been lodged by the defacto complainant. The petitioners are ready to co-operate with the investigation. Hence, she prays to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners.

¶4The learned counsel appearing for the State reiterated the prosecution case and reported that the injured was discharged from the hospital. The petitioners has no previous case. Investigation in this case is still pending. He opposed grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

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

¶6Considering the rival submissions on either side, the nature of offences charged against the petitioners, there is no previous case against the petitioners, the injured was discharged from the hospital and also considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, 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 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, Thiruchuli, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that: [b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of two weeks, thereafter, as and when required for 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].
