RESPONDENT / COMPLAINANT For Petitioner : M/S. M.VEILKANI RAJU Advocate For Respondent : M/S. K.S.DURAIPANDIAN, Govt. Advocate ( Crl. Side) PETITION FOR BAIL Under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.152 of 2011 for offences under Sections 341, 294(b) and 387 IPC. The alleged occurrence was on 24.08.2011 and he was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 26.08.2011. He has come forward with this petition seeking bail. 2. According to the petitioner, since investigation has not been completed, he is entitled for statutory bail under Section 167(3) Cr.P.C. 3. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that there are five previous cases pending against the petitioner and therefore, he is not entitled for bail. 4. In my considered opinion, irrespective of the heinous nature of the crime said to have been committed by the petitioner, he is entitled for bail, in view of the statutory mandate contained in Section 167(3) Cr.P.C., since he is in jail continuously from the date of first remand for about 56 days and since charge sheet has not been laid in the meanwhile. In such view of the matter, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, but with stringent conditions. 5. In the result, this petition is ordered and bail is granted to the petitioner on the following conditions. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ i) The petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a likesum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Sankarankovil; and ii) the petitioner shall report before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Tirunelveli, everyday at 2.15 P.m. until further orders. sd/- 31/10/2011 / TRUE COPY / Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
