2. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with other accused persons had called the defacto complainant and threatened that they are calling from Mumbai CBI and cheated a sum of Rs. 50,00,000/-. Hence, the complaint.
3.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has not committed any offences as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner was already granted interim bail and as per the order of this Court, dated 28.11.2025, he has deposited a sum of Rs.1 lakh to the credit of crime number before the concerned Magistrate Court. Again on 03.02.2026, this Court directed the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.9,00,000/- to the credit of crime number before the concerned Magistrate Court. Since the 2/7
petitioner could not comply with the aforesaid condition, the interim bail granted to him was vacated by this Court on 16.02.2026 and thereby, he was surrendered before the Prison authorities on 27.04.2026. Hence, he seeks bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent would submit that the petitioner has not complied with the conditions imposed by this Court vide order, dated 03.02.2026, thereby, interim bail granted to him was vacated by this Court and directed him to surrender. Though investigation has been completed in this case, considering the nature of grave offence and non-compliance of conditions by the petitioner, he strongly opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.
5. This Court heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
6.Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, the nature of the offence and the fact that the 3/7
petitioner was already granted interim bail by this Court on 28.11.2025 and as per the order of this Court, he has also deposited a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- before the concerned Magistrate and also considering the fact that the co-accused have already been enlarged on bail and in this case after completion of investigation, charge sheet has been laid before the concerned Court, as well as the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions:
[a] Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on condition to 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 learned Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Thoothukudi, and on further conditions that:
