CR.NO. 193 OF 2019.

For Petitioner : M/S.M.MURALI Advocate For Respondent : MR.T.SHUNMUGARAJESWARAN Govt. Advocate ( Crl. Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioners apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 457 and 380 of IPC, in Crime No.193 of 2019, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that on 04.03.2019, the petitioners have broken the door of the TASMAC shop situated at Padur Road, Kumminipeet, Arakkonam, and they robbed a sum of Rs.1,39,340/-, which was kept in the safety locker of the TASMAC. Hence the complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioners are innocent persons and they are no way connected with the alleged offences. The petitioners name have been falsely implicated by the respondent police without any proper enquiry. Hence he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that the petitioners have robbed a sum of Rs.1,39,340/- which was kept in the safety locker of the TASMAC. The investigation is not yet completed and if the petitioner is granted anticipatory bail, there is a possibility that he will tamper the witnesses and hamper the investigation. He would further submit the petitioners have committed serious offences and hence he vehemently opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
