In view of the same, if the petitioner is enlarged on anticipatory bail, he may be emboldened to indulge in similar offences in the future without fear of the law. Hence, taking into consideration the interest of society at large, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. 5.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. 07-08-2026 KMI https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 21685 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 To 1.The Inspector of Police, Elachipalayam Police Station, Namakkal District. 2.The Public Prosecutor Madras High Court. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 21685 of 2026 __________ Page4 of 4 C.KUMARAPPAN, J.
