2. The case of the prosecution is that on 25.06.2025 the petitioner committed the murder of the deceased Balamurugan through his henchmen, due to political enmity in their locality. Hence, the complaint was lodged.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner has been suffering incarceration from 26.06.2025. Hence, he seeks the grant of bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that there are a total of 6 accused persons, in which the petitioner is ranked as A3. He further submitted that, due to political enmity the petitioner colluded with the other accused and committed murder of the deceased. Since the petitioner left the political party, he bore a grudge against the deceased and, at his instigation, A2 along with the other accused, committed the murder. Besides, the petitioner has five previous cases, one of which is 307 IPC, and he also a history-sheeter in H.S.No.861 of 2011. Hence, he opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner.

5. On seeing the antecedents of the petitioner /A2, as well as the previous motive, it is evident that he attacked the deceased. If he is released on bail, he may abscond, tamper with the evidence, and hamper the witnesses. Therefore, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
