¶25

4.Taking hint drafted by the court, the petitioner surrendered yesterday and he is now lodged in Perurani District Jail, Thoothukudi. Therefore, I convert this anticipatory bail petition as bail petition. The case was registered way back in January 2020. We are now in March 2021. I am of the view that continued incarceration of the petitioner is not going to serve any purpose. Hence, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

¶26

5.Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to the following conditions;

¶27

(i)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 Judicial Magistrate No.II, Thoothukudi.

¶28

(ii) the petitioner is directed to appear before the respondent daily at 10.30 A.M for a period of two weeks.

¶29

(iii)the petitioner shall not abscond.

¶30

(iv)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].
