(In Cr.No.4 of 2026) ... Respondent PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No.4 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police.
For Petitioners :Mr.M.P.Senthil For Respondent :Mr.S.Prakash Government Advocate (Crl.side) ***** 1/7
O R D E R
The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 61(2) and 318(4) of BNS, 2023, in Crime No.4 of 2026, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners are runing a company in a name and style of Sanade Manpower Consultancy private limited, in Madhavapuram, Kanyakumari District and they were arranging employment opportunities abroad and in pursuance to that on 21.05.2025, they collected a sum of Rs.4,00,000/- from the defacto complainant and his brother. After receiving the money, no further steps were taken to arrange job to the complainant. When the defacto complainant requested that they either arrange the promised employment in abroad or return the amount paid, they failed to do so. Hence the case.
3. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocents and they were falsely implicated in this case and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the 2/7
prosecution. He would further submit that the petitioners are ready to file an undertaking affidavit to settle the issue by making payments to the victims, as was filed by the first accused in this case before this Court in Crl.O.P(MD)No.6965 of 2026. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail for the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent would submit that the petitioners have no previous cases. He would further submit that the investigation is pending and the offences are grave in nature and hence, he strongly opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.
5. Taking into consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that there are no previous cases pending against the petitioners and the petitioners are ready to file an undertaking affidavit to settle the issue by making payments to the victims, 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 3/7
from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Nagercoil, on condition that the petitioners 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 respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Nagercoil, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition 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 Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity;
(b)the petitioners shall furnish their residential addresses and mobile numbers to the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Nagercoil. In the event of any change in his residential address, the petitioners shall report the same to the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Nagercoil; (c)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; 4/7

State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560] and;
