The petitioner herein seeks anticipatory bail in Crime No.328 of 2023 registered by the respondent Police for the offences under Sections 407, 408, 420 and 435 IPC.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that he has been falsely implicated as an accused in this case. He is innocent. He further stated that A1 and A2 had been taken into custody and also been released on bail. Thus, he seeks bail to the petitioner.

3. The facts of the case are quite alarming. It is stated that the accused persons had taken away the lorry of the defacto complainant which contains cotton and sold half of the cotton. Then they burnt the lorry and projected that it was a case of accident. But the investigation revealed that the accused had deliberately burnt the lorry and the cotton. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 1/2
