When this Court put a pertinent question, the learned counsel for the petitioner tabulated six instances of witness tampering. However, no materials were produced by him to substantiate these instances. 3.The first point raised is that the second respondent is blocking other accused persons from settling their dues, which cannot be construed as a violation of bail conditions. The second instance alleged is that they are not cooperating with the investigation. The other instances referred to are in respect of the payment of the amount to the defacto complainant. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL MP No. 13502 of 2025 __________ Page4 of 6 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) fairly submitted that the second respondent/accused Nos. 1, 2 & 4 are cooperating with the investigation and have not been blocking any of the witnesses. 5.While considering an application for the cancellation of bail, this Court must only consider whether there is any violation of the bail conditions. Although the learned counsel for the petitioner mentioned that the accused were not cooperating with the investigation, the learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) fairly submitted that they have been cooperating. Regarding the tampering of witnesses, although certain allegations are made in the petitions, there is no supporting material except the ipse dixit of the petitioner. 6.In such view of the circumstances, and considering that a person's liberty is protected under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, a strong reason is required to cancel bail. However, based on the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court could not find any compelling reason to allow the cancellation of the bail application. 7.Accordingly, these Criminal Miscellaneous Petitions are dismissed. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL MP No. 13502 of 2025 __________ Page5 of 6 8.However, taking into consideration that the FIR was registered in the year 2023, the respondent police is directed to file the charge sheet as expeditiously as possible. 14-07-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No GBI To 1.State through the Inspector of Police EDF, Central Crime Branch, Tambaram, Chennai 2.Sheela @ Stiyola W/o.Mr.Jerocin, 3/180, Middle Street, Sippilkulam, Kilavaippa, Thothukudi District-628 903 3.
