The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner and the de facto complainant were in love affair and the petitioner induced her to enter into a physical relationship on the promise of marriage and thereafter failed to marry her. Hence the case. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that both the petitioner and the de facto complainant are Police. He further submitted that the petitioner is innocent and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the de facto 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 and produced the statement of the victim recorded under section 183 of BNSS before this Court. Hence, she opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 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. 19547 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, taking note of the submissions made by the learned counsel on both sides, on perusal of the 183 BNSS Statement, it is observed that the victim is aged about 32 years and the petitioner is 35 years and the statement discloses that there was a consensual relationship between the petitioner and the de facto complainant. Hence, this Court is of the firm view custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of investigation. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions. 7. 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 Sub Court-cum- Judicial Magistrate, Yanam, 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]'.
