Mr.G.Mariappan, Advocate For Respondent :
Mr.P.Kottaichamy Government Advocate (Crl. Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C. PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No.127 of 2024 on the file of the Respondent Police.
ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners, apprehending arrest at the hands of the respondent Police, in connection with a case in Crime No.127 of 2024, for the offence under Sections 147, 1/4
294(b), 323 and 506(i) IPC, have filed this petition seeking anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that there is a civil dispute between the petitioners and the defacto complainant. While so, on 06.06.2024, at about 9.00 a.m., the petitioners tried to put up a tent and when the same was questioned by the defacto complainant, the petitioners assaulted him with a stick and caused injuries.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. However, they have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that it is a case in counter. Therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) opposes for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners on the ground that the investigation is yet to be completed. However, he fairly submits that the injured has been discharged from the hospital.
5. Considering the nature of offence and also considering the fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is ordered and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance within 2/4
a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate on condition that (i) the petitioners execute a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/-(Rupees Twenty Five Thousand)each, with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Aruppukottai, Virudhunagar District. (ii) The petitioners and the sureties shall submit a copy of their Aadhaar Card or any other identity card issued by the government in proof of their residence address;
(iii) The petitioners shall appear before the respondent Police daily at 10.30 a.m. for a period of two weeks and thereafter, as and when required for interrogation. They have to co-operate for the investigation. (iv) The petitioners shall not misuse the liberty granted to them by indulging in any further offence and shall not tamper with the prosecution witnesses. (v) On violation of any of the above conditions by the petitioners, the respondent police shall move an application for cancellation of the anticipatory bail. sd/- 20/06/2024 / TRUE COPY / /06/2024 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.
