2. The case of the prosecution is that on the date of occurrence, the petitioner along with other accused persons allegedly waylaid the defacto complainant during night hours, demanded money from him and when he refused, they abused him in filthy language, assaulted him and extorted a sum of Rs.2,700/- and a mobile phone at knife point.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that petitioner/Ajith Kumar has been arrayed as A2. According to him, the petitioner were arrested on 16.01.2026 and since then he has been in judicial custody. The learned counsel would further submit that the present case is a false and foisted case. Hence, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner.

The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent strongly opposed the bail application on the ground that petitioner has about twenty-four previous criminal cases pending against him. He would further submit that if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, there is every possibility of his committing further offences and disturbing public peace. Hence, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. I have given anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side.
