The petitioner, who was arrested on 03.10.2021 and remanded to judicial custody for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 307, 323, 324, 364, 506(ii) of IPC in Crime No.1195 of 2021 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that there was a previous enmity between the petitioner and the defacto complainant, as a result of which, the petitioner along with other accused persons had kidnapped the defacto complainant and assaulted him with knife and caused injuries. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in no way connected with the alleged offence and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that coaccused had already been released on bail by this Court. Therefore, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submitted that there is no previous case pending against the petitioner and the injured person has been discharged from the hospital. Hence, he vehemently opposed for grant of bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the period of incarceration suffered by the petitioner, co-accused enlarged on bail and the injured person has been discharged from the hospital and there is no previous case pending against the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner with certain conditions:

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing 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 learned Judicial Magistrate IV, Tiruppur, and on further condition that:
