For Petitioner : Mr.P.Thinesh For Respondent : Mr.A.Gopinath Government Advocate (Crl.Side)

O R D E R

The petitioner seeks bail in S.C. No.40 of 2022 on the file of learned Session Magalir Needhi Mandram (Fast Track Mahila Court) Tiruppur. in 1/6

connection with Crime No.1313 of 2020 for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b) and 307 of IPC.

2. It is a case of jumped bail. The petitioner is an accused in S.C. No.40 of 2022 on the file of learned Session Magalir Needhi Mandram (Fast Track Mahila Court) Tiruppur. Due to non appearance before the Court, Non Bailable Warrant has been issued against the petitioner on 20.08.2025 and the same was executed on16.09.2025.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner was unable to appear before the Trial Court, due to ill health, as a result of non appearance, NBW was issued on 20.08.2025. He further submitted that the petitioner has been in custody from 16.09.2025 i.e., for the past five months and ready to cooperate with the trial process. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent reiterated the prosecution case and reported that the petitioner is having no previous cases, the accused has a habit of remaining absconding 2/6

and if the petitioner is released on bail, he will hamper the trial proceedings. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the fact the petitioner is in custody from the month of September 2025, no previous cases reported against the petitioner and also considering all other factors, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions:

7. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty FiveThousand only) with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Session Magalir Needhi Mandram (Fast Track Mahila Court) Tiruppur and on further conditions that:

[a] the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the Application for Surety ship [Judicial Form No.46 annexed to 'The Criminal Rules of Practice, 2019']. The learned Magistrate shall obtain a copy of any one of the identity proofs to ensure their identity;
