No. 7222 of 2026 1.N.Anandan 2.A.Naveen 3.A.Praveen 4.M.Muthupandian ... Petitioners Vs State of Tamil Nadu rep. by The Inspector of Police, Peravurani Police Station, Tanjavur District.

(Crime No.190 of 2026)

...Respondents/Complainant

For Petitioners : Mr.K.Sivabalan for M/s.Aran Legal Consultancy Advocate.

For Respondent : Mr.P.Kottai Chamy Government Advocate (Crl. side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Cr.No. 190 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police.

ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent for 1/6

the offences punishable under Sections 126(2), 296(b), 127(2), 118(1), 351(3) of BNS r/w. 304 (2) of BNS in Crime No.190 of 2026, on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that on 05.04.2026 at 10.00 p.m., the first accused riding his two wheeler and turned it without using any indicator or signs. When the same was questioned by the defacto complainant, he along with some unidentified persons abused him and attacked him. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely implicated in this case and they are in no way connected in the above said incident. They have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) submits that the offences are grave in nature. The accused persons gathered in the public and made assault upon the defacto complainant. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Investigation is still pending. The petitioners have no previous case. Injured in this case has been discharged 2/6

from the hospital.

5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the rival submissions on either side and the nature of offences charged against the petitioners, even according to the prosecution, injured was discharged from the hospital, there is no previous case against the petitioners, and also considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to the following conditions:

[a] Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on anticipatory bail on condition to execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Peravurani, Tanjavur District and on further conditions that:

[b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police, at 10.30 a.m., on every Saturday for a period of four weeks, thereafter, as and when required for interrogation; [c] the petitioners shall not commit any offences of similar 3/6

nature.

[d] the petitioners shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.

[e] the petitioners shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.

[f] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Judicial 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]. [g] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.
