The case of the prosecution is that on 06.07.2026, at about 20.00hrs., when the respondent police were on their routine vehicle check up at Koththur Kuppam junction road check post, a two wheeler bearing registration No.TN 70 AT 1887 was intercepted and found that the petitioners were in possession of 48 bundles of Hans Chaap Tobacco (each bundle containing 720 packets and each packet containing 20 grams) totally 14.400 Kgs. Hence, the case. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case and that they have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioners are ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the Petitioners. 4. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the Respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioners have been incarcerated since 06.07.2026, however, fairly conceded that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents. However, he opposed the grant of bail to the Petitioners. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions and perused the materials available on record. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 19507 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 6 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case; taking note of the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), though there is allegation made against the petitioners, the learned Government counsel fairly conceded that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents. Considering the fact that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents and considering the period of incarceration of the petitioners since 06.07.2026, this Court is of the firm view that further custody of the petitioners for the purpose of investigation is not required. Hence, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail subject to certain conditions. 7. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on their executing a separate bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties each, for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate-III, Tirupattur, and on further conditions that: [a] 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'].
