V.Vinoth v. The State Rep By

Crl.O.P.No.24367 of 2024 P.DHANABAL, J.

The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offences under Sections 329(4), 74 of BNS in Crime No.24 of 2024, on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.

2.

The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner has tried to make sexual assault on the daughter of the defacto complainant. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution. Due to pathway dispute, the defacto complainant has given a false complaint against the petitioner. However, on instructions, the learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.

The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that the petitioner has tried to make 1/4

sexual assault on the daughter of the defacto complainant. He further submitted that there is one previous case of similar in nature pending against the petitioner. He also submitted that the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C has not been recorded from the victim. Hence, he opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and there is one previous case of similar nature pending against the petitioner and the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C has not been recorded from the victim and also considering all other aspects, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 18.10.2024 vkr 2/4
