PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS PRAYER :- For Anticipatory Bail in Cr.No.177 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police.

ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioners/Accused, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2), 126(2), 296(b), 115(2) and 109 of BNS, 2023, in Crime No.177 of 2025, seek anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant had committed a bomb blast incident four months prior against A-1, as a result of which A-1 sustained amputation of his fingers. There existed previous enmity between the defacto complainant and A-1. Further, after having been incarcerated in Dindigul Jail, the defacto complainant was released and directed to report to the Natham Police Station during the conditional period. On 26.08.2025, at about 9.45 p.m., while the defacto complainant was riding his two-wheeler bearing Registration 2/5

No.TN-59-CY-3480 (NS Pulsar) from Raja Street towards Aasari Road, near the house of one Anandkumar, he was intercepted by certain accused persons. The said accused are alleged to have abused the defacto complainant in filthy language, assaulted him and caused grievous injuries to his ear, head, chin, right leg and left shoulder. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent persons and they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent Police submits that A-1 has seven previous cases, A-2 has six previous cases and A-3 has eight previous cases. Therefore, he opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Taking into consideration the fact that repeated gang war was occurring between the rival groups and also considering the bad 3/5

antecedents of the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. (S S Y J) 18.09.2025 jbr To
