The case of the prosecution is that on 27.06.2026, some of the persons trespassed into a godown where North Indian contract laborers are residing and threatened them with dire consequences and stolen mobile and caused injuries to them. Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. 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 and submitted that some of 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.18498 of 2026 the persons sustained head injuries. Hence, she opposed the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions. 6. Considering the seriousness of allegations levelled against the petitioner and the fact that due to commission of robbery, some of the persons sustained head injuries, this Court is of the firm view that, if the petitioner is enlarged on anticipatory bail, it would affect the moral fiber of society. Hence, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. 7. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 15.07.2026 ssb 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis Crl.O.P.No.18498 of 2026 C.KUMARAPPAN, J. ssb To 1.The Sub-Inspector of Police, Sri Perumbudur Police Station, Kancheepuram District. 2.The Public Prosecutor, High Court of Madras.
