Petitioner/Accused No.2 Vs The State Represented by The Inspector of Police, Thiruvattar Police Station, Kanyakumari District Cr.No.23 of 2020.

... Respondent/Complainant For Petitioner : Mr.N.Dilipkumar, for M/s.T.Hubertson.

For Respondent : Mr.A.Robinson, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 23 of 2020 on the file of the respondent police.

ORDER : The Court made the following order :- Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate(Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent.

2. The petitioner apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under sections 406 and 420 of I.P.C., in Crime No.23 of 2020 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

3. It is seen that the primary allegations are only made against the first accused. The petitioner did not have any dealing with the defacto complainant. The case against the accused rests on documentary evidence. Therefore, the arrest of the petitioner or custodial interrogation is not necessary.

4. In view of the above, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Padmanabhapuram, and on his executing 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 the petitioner shall appear before the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

5. The petitioner shall appear before the concerned Magistrate within a period of 15 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed.
