Raja v. The State By

Crl.O.P.No.28052 of 2024 SUNDER MOHAN, J.

It is the case of the prosecution that the petitioners had fabricated the documents and committed the offences under Sections 465, 468, 471 and 420 of IPC which was registered in Crime No.21 of 2023 and subsequently, after investigation, a final report was filed in C.C.No.113 of 2024 on the file of the District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court, Kudavasal, Thiruvarur District.

2.The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners never apprehended arrest during investigation that the respondents did not choose to arrest the petitioners and however, filed a charge sheet showing the petitioners as absconding before the Trial Court and that on the summons, they appeared before the Trial Court and had also received copies of the final report on 03.09.2024 and that the learned Magistrate however insisted that the petitioners must obtain anticipatory bail. 3.Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submitted 1/3

that since the respondents did not choose to arrest the petitioners during investigation, however, they had filed a final report showing the petitioners are absconding.

4.Admittedly, the final report has been filed and the petitioners, on summons, had appeared before the learned Magistrate. This Court is therefore of the view that the question of grant of anticipatory bail would not arise. However, the petitioners are at liberty to appear before the learned Magistrate on the next hearing date and execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties to ensure their presence before the Trial Court.
