BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI K.S.SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K. HEMA, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B.A.No. 3605 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 30th day of June, 2008 O R D E R Application for anticipatory bail 2. According to the prosecution, the petitioner is a Head Constable in the Special Branch. He along with two other police officials made a false report of police verification suppressing the fact that a person is an accused in Marad case. Report was given stating that he is not an accused and thereby helped him to obtain a passport and leave the country. A crime is registered against the petitioner as 1st accused under section 12(b) of Indian Passport Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is having some cardiac problem and he has retired from service and hence some leniency may be shown to him. This application is strongly opposed. It is submitted that because of the act of the petitioner, an accused in Marad case was allowed to escape. On hearing both sides and on considering the facts of this case, I find that it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. The application is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. -2- mn.
