Vijay v. Inspector Of Police

C.V.KARTHIKEYAN , J.

The petitioner seeks bail in Crime No.431 of 2022, registered by the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 302, 450 & 506(ii) of IPC.

2.It is stated that the petitioner had been originally granted bail in Crl.M.P.No.6033 of 2022 on 16.12.2022 nearly about a year back by the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Chengalpet. The only condition which was imposed was to report before the respondent police for a period of 30 days. The petitioner did not report even for one day. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that there was a life threat against the petitioner herein. If that be so, then within the period of 30 days, an application could have been made before the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Chengalpet, seeking to modify the order. But the petitioner had filed Crl.M.P.No.5703 of 2023, after the said bail had been cancelled owing to non-compliance of condition, and that application was dismissed by an order dated 03.11.2023. After that the petitioner had been taken into custody.

4.Taking into consideration the fact that the learned counsel himself states that there is a life threat to the petitioner herein, it would only appropriate that some further restraint is given till atleast the defacto complainant is examined as a witness. At this stage, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner particularly because there is a life threat to the petitioner and releasing him would only endanger to his life. 5.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 20.11.2023 ata C.V.KARTHIKEYAN , J.
