COMMON ORDER (Order of the Court was made by M.SATHYANARAYANAN,J.) The petitioner in Crl.O.P.No.19596 of 2019, namely, C.Murali, is the former Junior of Mr.P.V.Ravi, Advocate, who has been granted bail vide order dated 16.08.2019 made in Crl.O.P.No.19533 of 2019 and the petitioner in Crl.O.P.No.19788 of 2019, namely, K.Chandrasekaran, who continues to be the Junior of Mr.P.V.Ravi, Advocate and apprehending arrest for the alleged commission of the offences under Sections 120(b), 465, 468, 471 and 420 I.P.C., in Cr.No.1 of 2018 registered by the respondent police, had filed these Criminal Original Petitions for bail in the event of arrest (anticipatory bail).

2. Heard the submissions of the respective learned Counsel for the petitioners, the learned Counsel for the intervenor/defacto complainant and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State, who, on instructions, would submit that as on date, Mr.C.Murali and Mr.K.Chandrasekaran, the petitioners in Crl.O.P.Nos.19596 ad 19788 of 2019 respectively, are not yet arrayed as accused. 1/3

3. The learned Counsel for the intervenor/defacto complainant would submit that he is in possession of certain materials to implicate Mr.C.Murali, the petitioner in Crl.O.P.No.19596 of 2016 for the commission of the offences for which the above said F.I.R., has been registered and the intervenor/defacto complainant is at liberty to produce the said materials before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of investigation.

4. In the light of the submissions made by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State, on instructions, that as on date, Mr.C.Murali and Mr.K.Chandrasekaran, the petitioners in Crl.O.P.Nos.19596 ad 19788 of 2019 respectively, are not yet arrayed as accused, the apprehension of arrest expressed by them is unfoundable. Therefore, both the Criminal Original Petitions are dismissed. It is needless to say that as and when the petitioners genuinely apprehend arrest with regard to the commission of the offences in connection with the present case in Cr.No.1 of 2018 on the file of the respondent police, they are always at liberty to avail appropriate remedy in accordance with law before the competent forum.
