Section 4 of TNHW Act, in Crime No.158 of 2025, on the file of the respondent Police, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that there was a wordy quarrel between the petitioners and the defacto complainant and the petitioners have abused her in a filthy language and assaulted her and threatened her with dire consequences. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case. Further, he submitted that the petitioners are ready to abide by any condition that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and he vehemently opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case and since the custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required, this Court Page No.2 of 6

is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioners are 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, Vaniyambadi on condition that each of the petitioners shall execute a 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 petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition that: [a] the petitioners and the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity; [b] the petitioners shall appear before the respondent police as and when required for interrogation;
