ORDER
The petitioner / Accused who apprehends arrest in the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 303(2), 326(a) of 1/5
BNS, 2023, in connection with Crime No.381 of 2025, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that on 21.11.2025, when the respondent police were on patrol duty, found a tipper lorry bearing Registration No.TN-28 BK-7831 with three units of sand. Upon enquiry made with the driver of the vehicle, the driver confessed that the petitioner is the owner of the vehicle. Hence, the case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he is innocent of the offences as alleged in the FIR. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterates the case of the prosecution and submitted that there are three pending cases against the petitioner. Hence opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the nature of the offences and the quantity involved, 2/5
though the petitioners have previous cases, not similar in 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 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Thirupathur on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that:
