For Respondent : Mrs.M.Anantha Devi, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.438 of Cr.P.C PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in crime No. 341 of 2019 on the file of the Respondent police.

2. Heard both sides.

3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that due to wordy quarrel, a false case has been registered against the petitioner. He further submitted that the injured sustained only simple injury and she has already been discharged from the hospital. He further submitted that except the offence under Section 506(ii), all other offences are bailable in nature. Hence, he prayed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent has submitted that investigation is still pending. Thus, she opposed this petition. However, she fairly conceded that the injured sustained only simple injury and he has already been discharged from the hospital.

5.Taking into consideration the fact that the injured sustained only simple injury and he has already been discharged from the hospital, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner by imposing certain conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Tirumangalam, Madurai District, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent Police or to the Police Officer, who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that: (i) If the petitioner fails to surrender before the concerned Magistrate within a period of 15 days, this order shall stand automatically cancelled.

(ii) the petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m for a period of three weeks and thereafter, as and when required before the respondent police for interrogation. (iii) the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.

(iv) the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.
