PETITIONERS/ACCUSED 1 & 2 Vs STATE REP.BY, THE INSPECTOR OF POLICE, THIRUCHULI POLICE STATION, VIRUDHUNAGAR DISTRICT. CR.NO.278/2011 ... RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT For Petitioner : M/S. A.BASKARAN Advocate For Respondent : MR.K.S.DURAIPANDI, Addl.Public Prosecutor(Crl.Side) PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioners are accused in Cr.No.278 of 2011 on the file of the respondent police, for offences under Sections 379 of I.P.C(NH). Apprehending arrest, at the hands of the respondent police, the petitioners have come up with this petition, seekign anticipatory bail. 2. According to the case of prosecution, two lorries bearing Registration Nos.TN67Z8366 and TN63B7247, were seized by the authories and kept in the Tahsildar's office for further proceedings. When that be so, it is alleged that these petitioners entered into the premises of the Tahsildar's office and took away the lorries along with sand. With these allegations, the present case has been registered. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would deny the above allegation. According to him, after registration of the F.I.R, the lorries were returned by the authorities on their own volition. 4. In my considered opinion, it is not stated that the Tahsildar is in any manner inimical towards the petitioners. The theory https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ propounded by the petitioners, it self is hard to be believed. Further, according to the case of prosecution, the petitioners have trespassed into the office premises of the Tahsildar and have taken away the lorries with sand. In my considered opinion, any person who indulges in illegal mining is to be dealt with iron hands. 5. In such view of the matter, the petitioners are not entitled for anticipatory bail. Hence, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Sd/- 10/11/2011 / TRUE COPY / Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.) Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai - 625 023.
