ORDER
The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 23.09.2025 based on execution of NBW dated 26.08.2025 in S.C.No.419 of 2025 pending trial on the file of the learned II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Tiruvallur at Poonamallee for the offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 126(2), 296(b), 115(2) and 109 of BNS r/w 190 of BNS and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 1998 read with Section 190 of BNS, seeks bail.
2.
The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that originally the petitioner was earlier arrested and released on bail and was regularly appearing before the Trial Court for the case in S.C.No.419 of 2025 and since he was unable to appear before the Trial Court on 26.08.2025, hence a NBW was issued as against the petitioner and subsequently, he was arrested on 23.09.2025. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and sought for bail to the petitioner.
3.
The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing 2/4
for the respondent while opposing the bail to the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner failed to appear before the Trial Court on hearing, a NBW was issued and subsequently, he was arrested. He further submitted that there are totally 11 accused involved in this case and the petitioner is arrayed as A4, who is an habitual offender and has 13 previous cases out of which two subsequent cases. He also submitted that the trial has commenced and is pending due to non-appearance of some of the coaccused. 4.
Considering the facts of the case, the previous and subsequent antecedents of the petitioner and taking note of the fact that the trial has commenced and if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, there is a possibility of hampering of trial process, hence this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.
5.
Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. 14.11.2025 stn 3/4
