The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is the former Village Panchayat President of Mullankurichi Panchayat in Karambakudi Panchayat Union. During that period there were certain allegations against him based upon which he was removed from the post of President. Subsequently on a complaint preferred by the Block Development Officer, the present case has been registered. 3. The allegation is that the petitioner has not collected the tax properly and there are no records for the expenditure. Learned counsel for the petitioner would refute the above allegations. According to him, every expenditure of the Panchayat has been vouched by way of appropriate records. All records have already been in the custody of the authorities and therefore, there is no question of tampering the evidence. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner besides the fact that the petitioner has been removed from the post of panchayat and the records have already been seized by the authorities, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5. Accordingly the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on his appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate , Pudukottai on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the respondent police every day at 10.30 am., until further orders.
