For Petitioners:
Mr.Manoj Kumar Deivasigamani For Respondent: Mr.S.Udaya Kumar Government Advocate (Crl.Side)
ORDER
The petitioners/accused, who apprehend arrest in the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Section 309(4) of
BNS, 2023, in connection with Crime No.534 of 2025, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that on 26.10.2025 at 5.00 p.m., when the defacto complainant's father and his friend were driving in a car near KG Kandigai bazaar, the petitioners, along with another accused, waylaid the car, and assaulted him with knife, snatched a five sovereign gold chain, and escaped. As a result, the defacto complainant's father sustained injuries. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that there is a wordy quarrel between the petitioners and the defacto complainant's father regarding car parking, and no incident has occurred as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioners and the defacto complainant have now resolved the issue. Hence, he prayed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent reiterated the prosecution case and opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. He further submitted that in this case, investigation has been completed and charge sheet was also filed.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the nature of the offences and the fact that already the investigation was completed and charge sheet was filed, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions.
7. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate at Tirutani, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a separate 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: [a] the petitioners 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 petitioners shall report before the Judicial Magistrate at Tirutani on all working day at 10.30 a.m. for a period of 30 days.
[c] the petitioners shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.
[d] the petitioners 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].
