ORDER
The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 115(2), 118(1) and 351(2) of BNS in connection with the Cr. No.226 of 2025, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that due a land dispute, on the date of alleged occurrence, the petitioner along with her husband, abused the defacto complainant in a filthy language and assaulted him with helmet, and threatened him with dire consequences. Hence, the case.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is innocent person, and he has been falsely implicated by the respondent police and he is no way connected with the offences as alleged by the prosecution and hence he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4. Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) would submit that the petitioner along with her husband, abused the defacto complainant in a filthy language and assaulted him with helmet robes and threatened him with dire consequences and a civil dispute is pending among the parties in O.S.No.79/2025 before the Sub Court, Pollachi and that the petitioner has no previous case, pending against him. However, he strongly objected to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides, the nature of alleged offences, and the fact that no prior criminal cases are
pending against the petitioner, and further considering that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary in a case of this nature, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions.
7. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate-II, Pollachi on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that:
[a] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 am., for a period two weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation.
[b] the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade them from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence;
[c] the petitioner shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court;
[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 petitioners in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioners 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 abscond, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.2023.
