Crl.OP.No.20290 of 2025

¶18

The petitioner, who was arrested for the alleged offence under Sections 333, 296(b), 118(1), 109, 351(3), 49 of BNS and Section 4 of Tamilnadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act, 2002, in Crime No.48 of 2025 on the file of the respondent police, seeks anticipatory bail.

¶19

The case of prosecution is that the defacto complainant has given a statement that one Suresh has made cut injury in her body and threatened her with dire consequences and the present statement was given by her in the hospital and hence this complaint.

¶20

The learned counsel appearing for petitioner submitted that the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail.

¶21

The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for respondent would submit that there was some wordy quarrel and the defacto complainant sustained injuries and he was in hospital near about one month. However, he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶22

Considering the facts and circumstances and considering the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.
