126(2), 296(b), 115(2), 118(1), 351(3), BNS, 2023 in connection with the Cr.
No.160 of 2026, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that the defacto complainant lodged a
complaint with the respondent Police alleging that the petitioner tried to assault
the defacto complainant and abused with filthy language. Hence, the case.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the
petitioner had not indulged in any offence as alleged by the defacto complainant
and the respondent without inquiring the true fact, falsely implicated the
petitioner in the present case and hence the petitioner may be released on
anticipatory bail.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the
respondent Police would submit that the petitioner has 19 previous cases and in
all the cases the petitioner was granted bail and all those previous cases are not
similar in nature. Further he would submit that the injured has been discharged
from the hospital and the co-accused has been released on bail and hence, he
strongly opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the rival submissions on either side, considering the nature
of offences, considering the fact that the previous cases of the petitioner are not
similar in nature and in all the cases the petitioner was granted bail and also the
fact that the injured has been discharged from the hospital and the co-accused
has also been released on bail, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to
the petitioner subject to the following conditions.
7. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the
event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the
date on which the order copy made ready, before the Judicial Magistrate-II,
Ponneri on condition that 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 Magistrate concerned and on further condition
that:
[a] the petitioner shall report before the South Police Station, Vellore
daily, until further orders;
[b] the petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement,
threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to
dissuade her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer;
[c] the petitioner shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court;
[d] the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.

[e] 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
