S. Sellappan v. The Inspector Of Police,

Crl.O.P.No.18868 of 2023 RMT.TEEKAA RAMAN,J.

The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offence punishable under Sections 294(b) and 307 of IPC in Crime No. 131 of 2023, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner is the husband of the defacto complainant and due to suspect the fidelity of his wife, the petitioner, under the influence of alcohol, abused her in filthy language and attacked her with knife and caused injuries and thereby she sustained injuries. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and a false complaint has been foisted against him. He would further submit that it is a family dispute between the petitioner and the defacto complainant, which has already been vanished and till date, they are living peacefully. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) for the respondent police would submit that the petitioner, under the influence of alcohol, suspect the fidelity of his wife, abused her in filthy language and assaulted her with knife and caused injuries. Hence, he vehemently objected to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the nature and gravity of offence committed by the petitioner and the specific overt act against him, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this criminal original petition is dismissed.
