THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE P. DHANABAL Rajendra Cholan ... Petitioner/Accused No.1 Vs State of Tamilnadu Rep. By, The Inspector of Police, Pazhugal Police Station, Kanyakumari District.
Crime No. 111/2024. ... Respondent/Complainant PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Crime No. 111 of 2026 on the file of the respondent Police.
For Petitioner : Anbuchezhian S, Advocate.
For Respondent : Mr.N.Balasubramanian, Government Advocate (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 420, 294(b) and 506(1) of IPC, in Crime No.111 of 2026 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that the accused received a sum of Rs.12 lakhs by giving a false promise that they would secure a job in Railway. Thereafter, they 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 the injured was discharged from the hospital 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. Hence, he opposes to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He would further submit that investigation was completed and final report was filed before the concerned Court.
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 already the investigation was completed and charge sheet was filed before the concerned Court, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required and the alleged occurrence was took place on 25.02.2024, however, the respondent police has not taken any steps to secure the accused 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, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the 3/6
order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Kuzhithurai, Kanyakumari 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 learned Judicial Magistrate concerned and on further conditions that: [b] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police as and when required for interrogation.

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.
