The petitioner's father has passed away on 14.06.2018. Therefore, the petitioner is unable to move the Sessions Court, Tanjore.

4.Considering the special facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Since the petitioner has to rush for performing final rites, it would not be possible for him to furnish the sureties.
