They asked him to board a Car. Suspecting their behaviour, he refused. He was assaulted by Saravanan @ Gundu Saravanan and put inside the Car forcibly. When the neighbours gathered, on hearing the noise of the defacto complainant, one Boyz Mani threatened the neighbours with knife.

Again, he was assaulted by Saravanan @ Gundu Saravanan. He was taken forcibly in the above said Car to Pudupatti. In that place, one Dhakasekaran and Dhanapal were present. He was forced to get down from the Car. They demanded Rs.10,00,000/- for releasing him. He was also criminally intimidated. Later, he contacted her wife. She sent 34 sovereigns of gold jewels. That was handed over to one Dhanasekaran. It was intimated to Saravanan @ Gundu Saravanan, Boyz Mani and others.

3.After dismissal of an earlier application on merits, this petition was moved by the petitioner, seeking interim anticipatory bail, on the ground that father of the petitioner is aged and sick, to take care of his father, he wants a month time. Further he submitted that the petitioner only attending his father and taking care of him. On that ground, interim anticipatory bail was granted by the order dated 27.09.2023. He was directed to report before the respondent Police daily at 10.30 a.m., and after expiry of one month time, he must surrender before the respondent Police. For reporting compliance, the matter was listed. At that time, it was submitted by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that conditions were not complied properly by the petitioner, not only that, he did not even visit his parents.

On that ground the matter was adjourned, directing the petitioner and his parents to be present before this Court in person. On the adjourned date, the petitioner did not appear, where as, his father was taken to the Court, he was found ill and moving in wheel chair and his mother also appears to be aged. On enquiry with his parents, they stated that the petitioner visited his father one time and purchased medicines, thereafter, he did not come. His mother also stated that she only taking care of her husband. 4.

respondent Police along with his Advocate. Now his wife is also pregnant and that too in the advance stage. So, he has to take care of his wife. For that purpose, he wants extension of interim anticipatory bail, for which, Crl.M.P(MD) No.15409 of 2023 in Crl.O.P(MD) No.17237 of 2023 is also filed before this Court. 5.By the order dated 27.09.2023, Interim anticipatory bail was granted on the ground that the petitioner has to take care of his father, but his mother now stated that she only taking care his husband. Now, the learned counsel for the petitioner put a new ground that the petitioner's wife is in advance stage of pregnancy. The petitioner wants to gain order on one or other reason or pretext. The conduct of the petitioner is sufficient enough to deny his request. So, he has to surrender before the respondent Police immediately. I find no reason to extend the interim anticipatory bail granted to the petitioner. Considering the above said, this petition deserve to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
