2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner, using a country-made gun, hunted a Sambar Deer and prepared dried meat from the carcass. By engaging in these activities, the petitioner allegedly committed the offences cited in the complaint. Hence, the present case was registered against him. 3.
The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and sought for anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4.
The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent while opposing the anticipatory bail to the petitioner reiterated the prosecution case and stated that the petitioner has one previous antecedents; and that the investigation is pending.
5. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner, without prejudice to her defense and contention, is ready and willing to deposit an amount of Rs.10,000/- to any association. Hence, he prays
for grant of anticipatory 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. Taking into consideration of the totality of the circumstances, though the Petitioner is having one previous case, 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 "Account Name : Tamil Nadu Advocate's Clerk's Association, Account No. 484026006, Branch: Indian Bank High Court, IFSC No.IDIB000M157", this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail, subject to certain conditions.
