G.Venkatesan v. The Inspector Of Police

Crl.O.P.No.762 of 2023 T.V.THAMILSELVI, J.

The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 23.12.2022 for the alleged offence under Sections 420, 465, 468 and 471 of IPC in Crime No.23 of 2022 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the accused A1 and A2 fabricated the chitta and created a document in the name of A1, which was registered as Document No.37/2019. The attestation of the document is also a fabricated one. Further it reveals that the said Document No.37/2019 is not reflected in the Encumbrance Certificate. Hence the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has not at all committed any offence as alleged by the respondent police and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the investigation is completed and that the petitioner has been suffering incarceration from 23.12.2022. Hence, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for respondent submitted that the petitioner along with other accused fabricated the chitta and created a document in the name of the petitioner, which was registered as Document No.37/2019. He further submitted that A1 and A2 in this case have been arrested and other accused are absconding and if the petitioner is granted bail at this stage, he will abscond and tamper the evidence. He also submitted that the investigation is at the preliminary stage. Hence, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by both counsel and considering the gravity of offence committed by the petitioner and the investigation is not yet completed, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed.
