...Respondents/Complainant

For Petitioners : Mr.S.Manojkumar, Advocate.

For Respondent : Mr.B.Nambi Selvan, Additional Public Prosecutor PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Cr.No. 109 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police.

ORDER : The Court made the following order :- 1/5

The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 115(2), 118(1) and 351(3) of BNS, 2023 in Crime No.109 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 04.00 p.m., due to previous dispute, the petitioners abused the defacto complainant and attacked them, thereby the defacto complainant sustained injuries. 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. Due to previous enmity, this case has been foisted against the petitioners. Counter case has also been registered. Hence, he prays to grant Anticipatory Bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that the offences are grave in nature. Due to previous enmity both parties attacked each other and counter case has also been registered. The injured was discharged from the hospital. He opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 2/5

Investigation is still pending. The petitioner has no previous case.

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, considering that there is land dispute between the parties, injured was discharged from the hospital, there is no previous case against the petitioners, counter case has also been registered, 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 Judicial Magistrate, Manapparai, Trichy 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 nature.

3/5

[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.
