C.V.Karthikeyan, J

1.

The petitioners seek bail in Crime No.779 of 2023, registered by the respondent police for the offences punishable under Section 420 of IPC. Both the petitioners had been remanded to judicial custody on 23.09.2023.

2.It is stated that on 31.08.2023 the petitioners went to the house of the defacto complainant and stated that they should perform pooja and asked the defacto complainant to put her ring in a pot and took away the pot and the ring.

3.Taking into consideration all these factors, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:

4.Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail on condition to execute separate bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the Judicial Magistrate No.V, Salem, and on further conditions that:

[a] the sureties shall affix their photographs and Left Thumb Impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity.

[b] the petitioners shall report before the respondent police everyday at 10.30 a.m., until further orders.

[c] the petitioners shall not abscond either during investigation or trial.

[d] the petitioners shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial.

[e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioners in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioners released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].

[f] If the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 229A IPC.
