THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. DHANABAL

1. Sasikumar @ Ponnalugu

2. Boss @ Bose ... Petitioners/Accused No.1 & 2 Vs State of Tamilnadu Rep by, The Inspector of Police, Manamadurai Police Station, Sivagangai District.

Crime No. 248 of 2026. ... Respondent/Complainant PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 248 of 2026 on the file of the respondent Police.

For Petitioners : Mahendra Prabhu M, Advocate.

For Respondent : Mr.N.Balasubramanian, Government Advocate (Crl.Side) ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the 1/6

respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 296(b), 127(2), 118(1), 324(2) of BNS, 2023 r/w Section 4 of TNPHW Act, in Crime No. 248 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the second petitioner is the brother of the defacto complainant. On 01.06.2026 at about 11.30 a.m,, due to property dispute, the petitioners are said to have abused, attacked and threatened the defacto complainant with dire consequence. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are innocent and they were falsely implicated in this case and they are no way connected in the above said incident. He would further submit that no one sustained injury in the alleged occurrence and no previous case is pending against the petitioners. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that due to property dispute, the petitioners abused and attacked the defacto complainant and the investigation is still pending. Hence, he 2/6

opposes to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. He would further submit that no one sustained injury in the alleged occurrence and no previous case is pending against the petitioners.

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, and there is a property dispute between the family members and the relationship between the parties and no one sustained injury in the alleged occurrence and no previous case is pending against the petitioners, 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 bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Manamadurai, 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 3/6

the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate concerned and on further conditions that:

[b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police, every Saturday at 10.30 a.m. for a period of 4 weeks, and thereafter as and when required for the interrogation.

[c] the petitioners shall not commit any offences of similar nature.

[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 4/6

be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.
