K.L.Palani v. The Inspector Of Police

Crl.O.P.No.5417 of 2016 R.MALA, J.

The petitioners, who are arrayed as A-4 to A-6, apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 147, 148 and 506[i] of I.P.C. r/w Section 3 of TNPPDL Act, in Crime No.43 of 2016 on the file of the respondent police and hence, seek anticipatory bail.

2.The case of the prosecution is that due to a dispute between two community, the petitioners and others are alleged to have damaged the de facto complainant's petty shop worth about Rs.5,000/-, resulting in the registration of the case.

3.The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have been falsely implicated in this case and hence, he prays for enlargement on anticipatory bail. 4.The learned Government Advocate (criminal side) would submit that the petitioners and other accused have damaged the de facto complainant's petty shop worth about Rs.5,000/- and the investigation is considerably over and however, he prays for dismissal of this application. 5.Considering the rival submissions made by both sides and also considering the fact that the investigation is considerably over and even though the petitioners were not arrested, neither they interfered with the investigation nor absconded from the jurisdiction, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, with certain conditions.
