Subsequently, due to certain misunderstandings between them, the deceased was allegedly under severe mental stress, and on 31.10.2025, at about 11.00 a.m., she committed suicide by hanging. Hence, the registration of the case. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent individuals who have been falsely implicated in this case and have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the incident occurred solely due to a misunderstanding between the deceased and the first petitioner, and there is no allegation whatsoever against the petitioners. He added that the petitioners are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court, and accordingly, sought anticipatory bail. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl. side) opposed this application but fairly submitted that there are no adverse criminal antecedents against the petitioners and that the respondent police have not effected any arrest against them since October 2025. He further submitted that, although an unfortunate incident occurred on 31.10.2025, a perusal of the record reveals that there are no specific allegations against the first petitioner. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 19480 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 5.Considering the above factual position this Court is of the firm view that the custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required.
