N.Saravanan @ Sanrose, v. State of Tamilnadu Rep by Inspector of Police, Emaneswaram

ORDER The petitioner apprehends arrest for the alleged offence under Section 310(4) of BNS Act, 2023, in Crime No.112 of 2026, on the file of the respondent police seeks anticipatory bail.

¶2The allegation against the petitioner is that on 26.05.2026, at about 12.30 hours, the petitioner and the other accused were found in possession of deadly weapons, chili powder, and monkey caps with an intention to commit the offence of dacoity. When the respondent police intervened, some of the accused escaped from the scene of occurrence and some of the accused were arrested by the respondent police. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and on instructions, submitted that the petitioner is ranked as A6 and the investigation is at preliminary stage and the petitioner has 19 previous cases and out of which, 9 cases are pending for trial. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶5By way of reply, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the prosecution stated that the petitioner has 19 previous cases, those cases have been foisted against him only for the statistical purpose.

¶6Heard both sides and perused the material available on records.

7.Considering the nature of allegations against the petitioner, and also considering the facts that though the petitioner has some previous cases, the present case is relating to preparation of dacoity and it is also stated that for the statistical purpose, those cases have been registered, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain 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 made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Paramakudi, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only), with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further condition:

(a) If the petitioner fails to surrender before the concerned Magistrate within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled;

(b) The sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the application for surety ship (Judicial Form No.46 annexed to 'The Criminal Rules of Practice, 2019]'. The learned Magistrate shall obtain a copy of any one of identify proofs to ensure their identity;

(c) The petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., for a period of three weeks and thereafter, as and when required for interrogation;

(d) On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate actions against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on anticipatory bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji v. State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560];

(e) If the petitioner thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 269 of BNS Act.
