Due to __________ Page1 of 4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 6446 of 2026 which, the de facto complainant sustained injuries. Hence, the complaint. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is no way connected to this case and has been falsely implicated in this case and he has not committed any offences as alleged by the prosecution. Hence, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submits that the petitioner has four previous cases registered against him and one among them is under POCSO Act. He further submits that the investigation is still pending and if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, he may abscond and commit similar offences in future as well. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant bail to the petitioner. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and also perused the records available. 6.From the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side), it is seen that the petitioner has got four previous cases of similar nature, which clearly demonstrates that whenever he was granted bail by the Courts, he has misused the liberty granted to him. In view of the same, if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, he may be emboldened to indulge in similar __________ Page2 of 4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 6446 of 2026 offences in future without fear of law. Hence, taking into consideration of interest of the society at large, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 7.Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. 23.03.2026 rap To 1.
