According to the prosecution, the occurrence is said to have taken place on 07.06.2026. The allegation against the petitioner is that, when the defacto complainant questioned the petitioner regarding his rash and negligent driving, the petitioner assaulted him. Hence, a case has been registered. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the earlier application filed by the petitioner was dismissed on 17.06.2026 and this is the second bail application. He submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the defacto complainant and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that he is ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court and ready to co- operate with the investigation. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case, opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. However she fairly submit that the injured person was discharged on the same day. Hence, she opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, taking note of the submissions made by the learned counsel on both sides, though the earlier https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 17629 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 6 application filed by the petitioner was dismissed on 17.06.2026, the respondent police have not chosen to arrest the petitioner till date. Considering the above circumstances, this Court is of the firm view that even the respondent police are of the opinion that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance, within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date on which the order copy is made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thiruvottriyur, Thiruvallur, on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, and on further conditions: (a) If the petitioner fails to surrender before the concerned learned Magistrate within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, this order shall stand automatically cancelled; (b) The sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the application for surety ship (Judicial Form No.46 annexed to 'The Criminal Rules of Practice, 2019]'.
