Petitioner/Accused No.7 Vs State of Tamilnadu Rep by, The Inspector of Police, Gandhi Market Police Station, Tiruchirappalli District. (In Crime No. 129 of 2026). ... Respondent/Complainant For Petitioner : Mr.U.M. Berdin Vinodh, Advocate. For Respondent : Mr.N.Balasubramanian, Counsel for State of TN (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :- C-8AB. For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 129/2026 on the file of the respondent Police. ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioner/A7, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 296(b), 109(1) and 351(3) of BNS, 2023, in Crime No.129 of 2026, on the file of the respondent Police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2.The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner joining hands with the other accused, due to previous enmity, attempted to attack the defacto complainant with deadly weapons. However, the defacto complainant escaped without any injuries. Hence, the present complaint has been registered.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner is having some bad antecedents, a false case has been foisted against him. No injury caused to any one in this case. He is ready to cooperate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.The learned counsel for State of TN (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent Police submitted that the petitioner is having 3 previous cases. The investigation in this case is still pending. The three other accused were arrested and still in custody. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5.This Court heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6.Considering the facts of the case and though the petitioner has some previous cases, considering the fact that no one sustained any injury in this case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to certain conditions. [a] Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.V, Tiruchirapalli, Tiruchirapalli District, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen 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 two weeks and thereafter, as and when required for 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 petitioner 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]. [g] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.
