2. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is ranked as A6 along with other accused have fabricated the requisite documents for organ transplantation and submitted to the Government for approval and received the same. It is further alleged that the kidneys belonging to one Kowsalya and Vijaya were illegally sold without their knowledge, taking undue advantage of their poverty and innocence consent and thus the case has been registered.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4. Learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the complaint was originally lodged by the Chief Medical Officer, Pallipalayam Government Hospital, alleging that a kidney transplantation had taken place without following due process and that impersonation and fabrication of records were involved. Based on the said complaint, a case was registered and initially investigated by the first respondent, and subsequently transferred to the Special Investigation Team. During the course of investigation, it has 2/4
been revealed that, so far, four complaints have been received by the Special Investigation Team for investigation. It is further submitted that a group of private individuals is involved in the case, that the petitioner was recently arrested, and that the investigation is at a nascent stage. However, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record including the First Information Report.
6. I have also perused the connected records and the counter filed in this case, which reveal that the petitioner has actively participated in the fabrication of records, fully knowing the complexities involved in the process of kidney transplantation. The petitioner, by joining hands with A1 and other accused persons, is alleged to have fraudulently created a false relationship certificate and facilitated impersonation. Hence, if the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, it is likely to hamper the investigation and therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
7. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 16.02.2026 sma 3/4
