Rabin v. The State Rep By
Crl.O.P.No.13980 of 2024 T.V.THAMILSELVI, J.
The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 341, 363, 307 of IPC, in Crime No.07 of 2024, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that there was a previous enmity between the petitioner and the defacto complainant, as a result of which, the petitioner along with other accused persons chased the defacto complainant in two wheeler and took him in scheduled place and assaulted him with knife and thrown him in some other place and fled away due to which the defacto complainant sustained multiple cut injuries. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that the investigation is almost completed and the injured person has been discharged from the Page No.1/4
hospital. Hence, he vehemently opposed for grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the investigation is almost completed and co-accused had already been released on bail, the petitioner is ready and willing to deposit some amount to the credit of crime number to show his bonafide, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.
