the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that on 05.04.2026, due to previous enmity, when the defacto complainant was coming near the post office, the accused persons way laid him, abused him in filthy language and brutally attacked with knife and aruval and criminally intimidated him with dire consequences. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is innocent and he was falsely implicated in this case and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Due to previous enmity, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. Hence, he prayed bail for the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (crl. Side) appearing for the respondent would submit that the offence are grave in nature. The petitioner along with other accused persons brutally attacked the defacto complainant. He sustained severe injuries and after the treatment, he was discharged from the hospital. The petitioner has four previous cases, not similar in nature. Investigation is still pending. Hence, he opposed the grant of bail to the 2/6

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, considering the nature of charges levelled against the petitioner, injured was discharged from the hospital, though the petitioner has four previous cases, in those cases he was already granted bail and considering 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, 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, Vadipatti, Madurai District, and on further conditions that:
