... Respondent/Complainant For Petitioners : Mr.K.Anbumanikandantamilsooriyan, Advocate.
For Respondent : Mr.R.Sivakumar, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 54 of 2024 on the file of the respondent police. 1/5
ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners/A2 and A6, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 294(b),323, 324, 307 and 506(ii) of IPC, in Crime No.54 of 2024, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that on 02.05.2024 at about 03.00p.m., when the defacto complainant and his community people were celebrating their festival all the accused came there and abused them in filthy language and assaulted them with deadly weapons and caused injuries, hence the case.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution, hence he seek anticipatory bail.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police would submit that on 02.05.2024 at about 03.00p.m., when the defacto complainant and his community people were celebrating their festival all the accused came there and abused them in filthy language and assaulted them with 2/5
deadly weapons and caused injuries. Hence, he objected to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. However he fairly concedes that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.
5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions.
6. 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 of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Usilampatti, Madurai District on condition that the petitioner shall 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 Magistrate concerned and on further conditions 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 Aadhaar card or bank pass book to ensure their identity. 3/5
[b]the petitioners shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of four weeks and thereafter as and when required for interrogation. [c]the petitioners shall not tamper with the 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 are 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].
