PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec.482 of BNSS
PRAYER :-
For Anticipatory Bail in Cr.No.103 of 2026 on the file of the
respondent police.
ORDER :
The Court made the following order :-
The petitioners, who apprehend arrest at the hands of the
respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 191(2),
296(b), 115(2), 118(1), 351(3) of BNS and Section 4 of TamilNadu
Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act in Crime No.103 of 2026 on
the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that, due to a civil dispute, on
14.04.2026, the petitioners abused the defacto complainant in filthy
language and attacked him. Hence, the case.
3. The learned Counsel for the petitioners would submit that the
petitioners are innocent persons and they were falsely implicated in this
case and they are no way connected in the above said incident. They have

not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he
prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit
that a civil dispute is pending between the defacto-complainant and the
petitioners, due to which the incident occurred on 14.04.2026. He would
further submit that the petitioners have no previous criminal antecedents.
He would further submit that the investigation is pending and the
offences are grave in nature and hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory
bail to the petitioners.
5. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.
6. Considering the rival submissions made on either side and the
nature of offences charged against the petitioners, and considering the
fact that no previous case is pending against the petitioners, this Court is
inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, subject to the
following conditions:

[a] Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be
released on anticipatory bail on condition to execute a bond
