4. The First Information report given by the de facto complainant indicates that, to secure Government Job, he had paid money to the accused herein, the complaint clearly shows that the de facto complainant herself accompanied a crime of securing public placement by giving bribe. Hence, this court is not inclined to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners in this case. However, this Court directs the respondent police to proceed against the de facto complainant who, on her own statement confessed that money was paid to secure public office.

5. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. -sd/- 11/03/2022 This order, on being produced, be punctually observed and carried into execution by all concerned TRUE COPY Sub-Assistant Registrar (Statistics/C.S.) High Court, Madras - 600 104.
