Alagulingam Vs State Of Tamilnadu Rep By Inspector Of Police, Vilathikulam

The case of the prosecution is that, on receipt of secret information, the defacto complainant proceeded to the place of occurrence and intercepted the petitioner, who, along with the other accused, was transporting sand illegally from the Vaipar riverbed using bullock carts. Hence, the case.

¶25

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is innocent and he was falsely implicated in this case and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. The petitioner is in custody from 20.07.2026 and ready to abide any condition imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed bail for the petitioner.

¶26

The learned Counsel appearing for the State reiterated the prosecution case and reported that the petitioner has three previous case. Investigation is still pending. The properties were recovered. He opposed the grant of bail to the petitioner.

¶27

This Court heard both sides and perused the materials available on
