(MD).No.7895 of 2020, dated 05.08.2020, Crl.O.P.(MD).No.8929 of 2020, dated 29.10.2020, Crl.O.P.(MD).No.7880 of 2020, dated 05.08.2020 and Crl.O.P.(MD).No.8643 of 2020 dated 29.10.2020 on the ground that the 2/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365 to 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 respondent herein are not cooperating with the investigation. It is further stated that this Court has directed the investigating agency to conduct further investigation in the matter and file a report. Hence, in the interest of a fair and proper investigation, the anticipatory bail granted to the respondent is liable to be cancelled. 2.The learned Counsel for State of TN (Crl. Side) appearing for the petitioner/State in all cases submitted that since the accused are not cooperating with the investigation, the same is still pending. He further submitted that the co-operation of accused is necessary for identifying names of the co-accused. Hence, he prayed for cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted to the respondent. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the respondent/accused in all these cases submitted that, after obtaining anticipatory bail, the respondent in all cases have duly complied with the conditions imposed by this Court and have not indulged in any activities that would hamper the investigation. It was further submitted that the present petitions have been filed merely on suspicion, without any material to establish that the respondent/accused had violated the conditions of anticipatory bail. He further submitted that the 3/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365 to 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 respondent/accsued cannot be punished by cancellation of their anticipatory bail for any lapse or omission on the part of the investigating officer. The respondent/accsued in all cases are ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed for dismissal of these Criminal Original Petitions. 4.I have also carefully considered the submissions made on either sides and produced materials available on records. 5.The fact remains that the further investigation in this case is now going on. In the present case, the reason for seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail is that A1 and other accused are not cooperating with the investigation. On a careful perusal of the order passed by this Court, there is no direction that the accused shall disclose the name or particulars of the co-accused / alleged impersonator. Further, there are no serious allegations of violation of any bail condition. There are also no grounds or reasons established before this Court to show that the respondent/accused in all cases have indulged in hampering the investigation. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the State that the further investigation is still going on and that the investigating agency requires some more evidence and the cooperation of the accused. In such a case, the investigating officer can very well summon the accused for the purpose of 4/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365 to 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 investigation and record their statements, if necessary. However, without resorting to such a course, they are now seeking the shortcut method of cancellation of bail. This Court after taking into consideration of the facts and circumstances granted anticipatory bail to the respondent/accused in all cases and thereby, there is no ground to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to the respondent/accused. Hence, these petitions have no merits and deserve to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, these Criminal Miscellaneous Petitions stand dismissed. However, considering the fact that A7 has not yet been identified, the respondent/A1/S.Rajendran in Crl.O.P.(MD).No.2829 of 2025, is directed to appear before the petitioner Police from 28.07.2026 to 03.08.2026, except on Sunday (i.e., 02.08.2026), for the purpose of investigation and, the statement if any required may also be permitted to be recorded with regard to accused No.1 / impersonator, thereafter, as and when required for interrogation before the petitioner police. 21.07.2026 (2/2) vsg 5/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365 to 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 To 1.The The Sub Inspector of Police, CCB (ALGSC) Police Station, Madurai City. 2.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai. 6/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365 to 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 K.RAJASEKAR, J. vsg Crl.M.P.(MD).Nos.5365, 5366, 5367, 2829 and 6290 of 2025 in Crl.O.P.(MD).Nos.22774 of 2022, 7895, 7880, 8929, and 8643 of 2020 21.07.2026 2/2 7/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
