Gokul @ Gokul Raj v. State Rep By

Crl.O.P.No.20267 of 2022 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.

The petitioner, who apprehends arrest for the alleged offence under Sections 147, 294(b), 323, 324, 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.184 of 2022 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant lodged a complaint before the respondent police alleging that due to previous enmity, the petitioner along with other accused have abused and assaulted the defacto complainant. Hence, the complaint. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent submitted that this Court had already dismissed two anticipatory bail petitions filed by the petitioner and this is the third

petition. He would further submit that there are six previous cases pending as against the petitioner. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5.Considering the fact that there are six previous cases pending as against the petitioner, as such the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is very much required. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 30.08.2022 Anu G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.
