Dinesh @ Pavadai Dinesh v. The State Rep.By the Inspector of Police,

ORDER The petitioner/accused, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Section 310(4) of the

Bharatiya Naya Sanhita, 2023, in Crime No.730 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that when the defacto complainant, the Sub Inspector of Police along with other officials were on routine patrol duty, they have noticed the petitioner and other accused assembled near the Kottaimedu burial ground with deadly weapons to commit dacoity. On seeing the police, they ran away from the place. Hence the complaint.

¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person, he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the petitioner is a law-abiding citizen and he is ready and willing to furnish substantial sureties and to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court; therefore, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4Learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the

respondent police submitted that the petitioner along with other accused have gathered near Kottaimedu burial ground with deadly weapons to commit robbery. He further submitted that the petitioner is having 14 previous cases against him. Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the representation made by both sides, the nature of offences, and also considering the fact that nobody was injured in this case, and no properties were involved in this case, and that though the petitioner is having previous cases, he was granted bail in all those cases, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions:

¶7Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date on which the order copy was made ready, before the

learned Judicial Magistrate No.II, Ponneri, 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 Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions that: [a] the petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m. until further orders for interrogation; [b] the petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence; [c] the petitioner shall not leave India without the prior permission of the Court; [d] the petitioner 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 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]. [f] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of the BNS.
