..Petitioner(s) Vs The State Rep.by, The Inspector of Police, Selvapuram Police Station, Coimbatore District.
(Crime No. 327 of 2025).
..Respondent(s) PRAYER : Criminal Original Petition filed under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023, to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioner and order to enlarge him on bail in the event of arrest in Crime No 327/2025 by the Respondent Police. For Petitioner(s):
Mr. Sudhakar Kannusamy For Respondent(s):

ORDER
The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offence under Sections 465, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of IPC, 1860 in Crime No.327 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The allegation against the petitioner is that he, along with other
accused fabricated a Will purported to have been executed by one Sathyamurthy, who is the father of the defacto complainant's wife. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had earlier been granted anticipatory bail on 19.11.2025 in Crl.OP.No.31502 of 2025. However, due to certain personal reasons, he was unable to surrender before the Court and execute the bond, as a result of which the said order lapsed. Hence the present petition has been filed seeking anticipatory bail.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) submitted that the said fact is not seriously disputed. However, he submitted that the role of the petitioner in the alleged fabrication of the Will is serious in nature. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner, without prejudice to his defense and contention, is ready and willing to deposit an amount of Rs.10,000/- to any association. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the petitioner.
6. I have given anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and also perused the records available.
7. Considering the fact that the petitioner was earlier granted anticipatory bail and the same could not be availed due to personal reasons and also taking note of the fact that the petitioner has come forward to deposit an amount of Rs.10,000/- to the credit of "Tamil Nadu Advocate Clerk Association, Chennai", this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail, subject to certain conditions.
8. Accordingly, the petitioner shall pay a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) as cost to the Tamil Nadu Advocate Clerk Association, Chennai and on such payment, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.V, Coimbatore, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions:
(a) If the petitioner fails to surrender before the concerned learned Magistrate within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled;
(b) 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 identify proofs to ensure their identity;
(c) The petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m for a period of three weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation. (d) On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate actions against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on anticipatory bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji v. State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560];
(e) If the petitioner thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of BNS Act.
