No.9640 of 2025 from his house. Though, the amount and jewels have been recovered from the accused, if bail is granted to the petitioner, he will abscond and tamper with the evidence and will cause threat to the defacto complainant. He, therefore, opposes the grant of bail to the petitioner. 5. This Court has heard the learned counsel on both sides and perused the materials available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the offence allegedly committed by the petitioner, and the fact that A1 is still in custody, this Court is of the view that if the petitioner is released on bail, he may indulge in tampering with the witnesses and the investigation. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 7. In the result, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. sd/- 10/06/2025 / TRUE COPY / /06/2025 Sub-Assistant Registrar (CS-I/II/III/IV) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
