Selvakumar v. State Rep by Inspector of Police

ORDER The petitioner / Accused No. 3, who apprehends arrest in the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 120b, 420 and 506(1) of IPC in connection with the Cr.No.22 of 2025, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner borrowed money from the de-facto complainant and failed to repay the same. Hence, the complaint.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submit that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he has nothing to do with the allegations made in the complaint. Therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submits that it is case of money dispute and the investigation is still pending. Hence, he vehemently opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶5Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the nature of offences that it is a money dispute between the parties, no previous case is pending against the petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the Judicial Magistrate VI, Coimbatore, 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 condition that: [a] the petitioner shall report before the respondent on every Saturday for a period of four weeks. [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 them from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; [c] the petitioner shall not leave India without the previous 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 abscond, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 B.N.S.2023.
