Case brief
What is this about?
Madras High Court, K. Rajasekar J., 07.01.2026 - Crl.M.P.Nos.24897 of 2025 and 227 of 2026 in Crl.O.P.No.29767 of 2025; Balaji Rajendrababu and Lavanya Srinivasan v. The State (Inspector of Police, S-9, Pazhavanthangal Police Station, Chennai, Crime No.334 of 2025). Petitions to modify the deposit condition of Rs.37,87,681/- and extend time refused because non-compliance had already caused automatic dismissal of the interim anticipatory bail; miscellaneous petitions dismissed. Keywords: anticipatory bail conditions, default clause, automatic dismissal, deposit to credit of crime number, extension of time.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioners had not complied with the condition of depositing Rs.37,87,681/- till the date of this order, the interim anticipatory bail granted to them and others stood dismissed; hence the prayer to modify the condition and grant extension of time does not arise.
