ORDER: The Court made the following order :- The petitioners, 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, on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.
2.The case of the prosecution is that on 26.08.2025, the de-facto complainant, who had earlier been employed abroad and thereafter returned to his native village and was working as a wage labourer, was involved in the alleged occurrence. It is admitted in the First Information Report by the mother of the de-facto complainant that the de-facto complainant had committed a bomb blast incident four months prior against the 1st accused as a result of which the said 1st accused sustained amputation of his fingers. There existed previous enmity between the de-facto complainant and the said 1st accused, each harbouring intentions of revenge. Hence, the apprehension of arrest. Hence, a case has been registered as against the petitioners. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and they have not committed any offence. He seeks this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the 2/6
petitioners.
4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) appearing for the respondent submitted that the offences committed by the petitioners are serious in nature. Further, the 1st petitioner has six previous cases against him and he is history sheeter No.432 of 2025. The 2nd petitioner has seven previous cases against him and he is history sheeter No.433 of 2025. 5.This is the second petition for anticipatory bail. The defacto complainant Pandiselvi appeared before this Court. The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that there is a rival enmity between the two groups. The parties have entered into compromise that they are not further inclined to process the criminal case. Therefore, there is a change in the circumstances. Hence, the second anticipatory bail petition is entertained. 5.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners with certain conditions. 6.
execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the Learned Judicial Magistrate, JM Court, Melur, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready and on further conditions that: [a]the petitioners and the sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhaar card or bank pass book to ensure their identity.

[c]the petitioners shall not tamper with the evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.
[d]the petitioners shall not abscond either during investigation or trial. [e]On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner is 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].
