K.Manimaran v. The Inspector Of Police

Crl.O.P.No.11644 of 2016 S.VAIDYANATHAN, J.

Apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police for alleged offences punishable under Sections 406, 420 and 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.120 of 2015 on the file of the respondent police, the petitioner has come forward with this petition seeking anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with the first accused by promising the defacto complainant that they will arrange permanent transfer for her to Thirunelveli District received a sum of Rs.four lakhs. But they secured only a temporary transfer for the defacto complainant. When the defacto complainant questioned about this and asked for the return of the amount, the accused evaded repayment and thus cheated the defacto complainant.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has not committed any such offence and a false complaint has been lodged against the petitioner.

4. Heard the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) for the respondent.

6.

The co-accused has been granted anticipatory bail in Crl.O.P.No.11645 of 2016 today. Hence, Considering the facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with the following conditions.
