namely, Prabhakar, who is arrayed as A2 in this case. Hence the case. The petitioners are ranked as A3 and A4 and they have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody from 09.06.2026.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners are parents of A1 and they have been falsely implicated in this case. The FIR also revealed that in the presence of these petitioners, money was handed over to the other accused and the money was transferred to A1 and A2 through only bank transaction. He would further submit that the petitioners have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 09.06.2026 and no previous case is pending against the petitioners and there are no specific materials available on records against the petitioners. Therefore, he prayed to grant bail for the petitioners.

4.The learned counsel appearing for the intervener would submit that the petitioners are neighbours of the defacto complainant and only on the assurance given by them, the defacto complainant has come forward to pay the money on various period and the petitioners have 3/8

colluded with other accused created fake visa clearance and issued to the defacto complainant. Hence, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioners.

5. The learned counsel for state of TN (Crl. Side) appearing for the respondent reiterated the prosecution case and further submit that the payments have been made by the defacto complainant to the bank account of A1 and A2. He would further submit that the investigation is still pending and the petitioners have no previous cases. Since A1 still in abroad, the investigation is not progressing. Hence, he strongly opposed to grant bail to the petitioners.

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, nature of offence, and the payments have been made by the defacto complainant through the bank account of A1 and A2 and the petitioners have no previous cases and also considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioners from 09.06.2026, I am 4/8

inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:
