Vijay v. State By

Crl.O.P.No.1430 of 2024 C.V.KARTHIKEYAN,J.

The petitioner/A2 seeks bail in Crime No.431 of 2022, registered by the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 302, 450 & 506(ii) of IPC.

2.It is stated that the petitioner had been originally granted bail in Crl.M.P.No.6033 of 2022 on 16.12.2022 nearly about a year back by the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Chengalpet. The only condition which was imposed was to report before the respondent police for a period of 30 days. The petitioner did not report even for one day. 3.A Non-bailable warrant had been issued against the petitioner on 17.05.2023 and the petitioner was secured on 27.07.2023. 4.It is seen that NBW is pending against A2, A5 and A7 and the matter can never be committed to the Court of Sessions, if the accused take a decision to abscond from the judicial process.

5.The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that there was a life threat 1/3

against the petitioner herein. If that be so, then within the period of 30 days, an application could have been made before the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Chengalpet, seeking to modify the order. But the petitioner had filed Crl.M.P.No.5703 of 2023, after the said bail had been cancelled owing to noncompliance of condition, and that application was dismissed by an order dated 03.11.2023. After that the petitioner had been taken into custody. 6.The earlier application seeking bail had been dismissed by this Court on 2011.2023 in Crl.O.P.No.26296 of 2023. Since there is no change in circumstance, as a matter of fact, further accused have now absconded from the judicial process, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner herein. 7.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 29.01.2024 ata C.V.KARTHIKEYAN,J.
