C.V.KARTHIKEYAN,J.

The petitioner/A1 seeks anticipatory bail in Crime No.442 of 2023, registered by the respondent police for the offence under Sections 294(b), 323 & 506(ii) of IPC.

2.It is stated that the defacto complainant is the neighbour of the accused and owing to previous enmity, he entered into a quarrel which escalated into violence. The main issue arose around the marriage of the daughter of A1 and brother of the defacto complainant. 3.Taking all the factors into consideration, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions: 4.Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Sriperumbudur, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten

Thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition that:

[a] the petitioner and the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity.

[b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police once in a week i.e., on every Saturday at 10.30 a.m., for a period of two weeks and thereafter, as and when required for interrogation. [c] the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.

[d] the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.

[e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed

and the petitioner released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].

[f] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 229A IPC.
