IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
S. Srimathy, J
Muthuraja – Appellant
Versus
State of Tamilnadu – Respondent
CRL OP(MD) No.9355 of 2026



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Mr.Jaswanth Ram
For the Respondents: Mr.E.Antony Sahaya Prabahar

Anticipatory bail can be granted to petitioners who demonstrate willingness to comply with court-imposed conditions.

Headnote:The petitioners seek anticipatory bail under Section 482 of BNSS in connection with Crime No. 81 of 2026 for alleged offences under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 296(b), 115(2), 127(2), 118(1), 351(2) and 303(2) of BNS, 2023 and Section 4 of Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman(Amendment) Act, 2002. The prosecution alleges that the accused persons along with the wife of the first petitioner entered into a quarrel and attacked the defacto complainant and her family members causing injuries. This Court grants anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to certain conditions, including execution of bonds, reporting to police, and compliance with terms to prevent tampering or absconding. The court frames the main issues as (1) whether the petitioners are entitled to anticipatory bail based on facts and circumstances and (2) whether there are sufficient grounds to deny bail due to the alleged offence. The ratio decidendi is that courts should grant anticipatory bail if the petitioners are ready to abide by conditions, considering the facts of the case where injured persons were discharged without granting any other details. The result is that the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance on condition that each of the petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.10,000/- with two sureties each.
