G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.

The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 343, 365, 367, 368, 506(2) of IPC, in Crime No.273 of 2022 seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that, the defacto complainant and the accused persons were running a prostitution business. It is alleged that there was a dispute in between them, due to which, the defacto complainant started running the prostitution business separately and thereafter the petitioner along with other accused kidnapped and threatened the defacto complainant that if he run the prostitution business separately, they will murder the defacto complainant. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent person and has not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution. Therefore, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the defacto complainant and the accused persons are pimp. There was a quarrel in between them, due to which, the petitioner along with other accused assaulted the defacto complainant. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the above fact and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate II at Chengalpattu on condition that the petitioner shall execute separate bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, failing which, the

[b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police twice daily at 10.30 a.m., and 04.30.p.m., until further orders. [c] the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.
