CRIME NO.3 OF 2024.
... RESPONDENT/ COMPLAINANT For Petitioner : Mr.S.ANANDHA RAJAGOPAL Advocate For Respondent : Mr.P.KOTTAICHAMY, Govt. Advocate ( Crl. Side) For Intervenor : Mr.M.KARUNANITHI, Advocate PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. PRAYER:- FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL IN CRIME NO.3 OF 2024 ON THE FILE OF THE RESPONDENT POLICE.
ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioner/A2, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the alleged offence under Sections 406, 409, 420, 294(b), 506(ii) of IPC and 1/4
Section 4 of TNPHW Act, in Crime No.3 of 2024, on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.
2.The case of the prosecution is that the accused persons obtained a sum of Rs.29,00,00/- from the defacto complainant for securing a Government Job to the defacto complainant's daughter. After getting the amount, the accused persons neither secured the job nor repaid the said amount and thereby, cheated the defacto complainant. Hence, the case.
3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is the wife of first accused and she has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. On earlier occasion, the petitioner made a complaint against the defacto complainant and the police officials and in order to wreck vengeance, the present case has been registered against the petitioner. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the State submitted that the petitioner is the wife of A1. The petitioner and her husband collected a sum of Rs.29,00,000/- from the defacto complainant for securing a government job and thereafter, they neither secured a job nor repaid the said amount and they had purchased a new car in their names. He further submitted that the first accused was already arrested and enlarged on bail by the Lower Court and the entire 2/4
amount is with the petitioner. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5.The learned counsel appearing for the intervener did not dispute the facts submitted by the learned Government Advocate (crl.side) and vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
6. It appears that this is the second application for anticipatory bail and the earlier anticipatory bail application filed by the petitioner in Crl.OP(MD)No.1137 of 2024 was dismissed by this Court on 29.01.2024, considering the seriousness and gravity of the offence alleged against the petitioner and the quantum of amount involved in the offence. Now, this application is filed by the petitioner without referring the change of circumstances to consider the case. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7.In the result, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. sd/- 29/02/2024 / TRUE COPY / /03/2024 Sub-Assistant Registrar ( C.S.
