M. Jaseena v. State Of Tamilnadu Rep By Inspector Of Police,
BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT Dated : 19/06/2026
CORAM
THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. DHANABAL M. Jaseena ... Petitioner/Accused No.2 Vs State of Tamilnadu Rep by, The Inspector of Police, District Crime Branch, Thanjavur.
(Crime No. 33 of 2024). ... Respondent/Complainant PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 33 of 2024 on the file of the Respondent Police.
For Petitioner : N.Arjunkumar, Advocate.
For Respondent : Mr.N.Balasubramanian, Counsel For State of TN (Crl.Side) ORDER : The Court made the following order :- 1/6
The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent for the offences punishable under Sections 406, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 and 474 of IPC, in Crime No.33 of 2024 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that A1, who is the husband of the petitioner received a sum of Rs.12 lakhs on various dated by giving a false promise that he would secure a job in Canada. Thereafter, he neither secured a job nor repaid the amount. Hence, the case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent and he was falsely implicated in this case and he has no way connected in the above said incident. He would further submit that this is the second anticipatory bail application and the earlier petition filed by the petitioner was disposed of by this Court on 19.06.2026 and A1 was already arrested and released on bail and no previous case is pending against the petitioner. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that the offence committed by the accused is grave in nature and the 2/6
investigation is still pending. Hence, he opposes to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He would further submit that A1 was already arrested and released on bail and no previous case is pending against the petitioner.
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 petitioner, and the petitioner herein is only the wife of A1 who is said to have prime accused and even according to the prosecution, the alleged occurrence was took place on 31.03.2023 and FIR was registered on 04.11.2024, by this time, the material part of the investigation might have been completed, however, the respondent police has not taken any steps to secure the accused and A1 was already arrested and released on bail and no previous case is pending against the petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions: [a] Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, 3/6
within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Pattukottai, 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 learned Judicial Magistrate concerned and on further conditions that:
[b] the petitioner 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 petitioner shall not commit any offences of similar nature.
[d] the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.
[e] the petitioner 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 4/6
appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner 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 be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.
19.06.2026 dss To 1.The Judicial Magistrate, Pattukottai.
2.The Inspector of Police, District Crime Branch, Thanjavur.
3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.
