Nishanth Ravichandran v. The State Rep.By

Crl.O.P. No.16699 of 2024 T.V.THAMILSELVI, J.

Earlier, this court by an order dated 19.07.2024 granted interim anticipatory bail on condition that the petitioner shall deposit a sum of Rs.25,00,000/- (Rupees twenty five lakhs only) to the credit of Crime No.319 of 2024 before the concerned Magistrate within a period of two weeks and subsequently it was made absolute by an order dated 22.08.2024. However, instead of passing order of anticipatory bail absolute, the above petition was wrongly disposed of by an order dated 22.08.2024. Hence, he prayed to recall the order and to modify the order passed by this court on 22.08.2024. Accordingly, the matter has been listed today.

2. Today, when the matter taken up for hearing, Mr.J.Lingeswaran, learned counsel for the petitioner appeared and submitted that the petitioner has deposited the amount as per the order passed by this court. Hence, he seeks to grant anticipatory bail. 1/4

3. Considering the facts and circumstances and also considering both side submissions, the earlier order passed by this court on 22.08.2024 is recalled and interim anticipatory bail granted by this court vide order dated 20.08.2024 is made absolute with certain conditions.
