¶19

On going through the contents of the FIR, it is seen that a minor road accident has been given a communal colour. The petitioner's counsel on instructions states that the petitioner will take a demand draft for a sum of Rs.5,000/- favouring the third respondent and enclose the same along with the surrender petition. The Court below shall take steps to hand over the same to the third respondent through the respondent. Of course, this would be without prejudice to the petitioner's defence in the trial.

¶20

Recording the said undertaking, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance before the learned PCR Court (Special Court), Madurai, and on his executing 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 Court concerned and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the respondent police as and when required for interrogation. The petitioner shall comply with the conditions stipulated under Section 438 Cr.P.C scrupulously.

¶21

The petitioner shall appear before the concerned Court within a period of 15 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed.
