11.05.2026 under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita
(BNSS) 2023, praying to grant bail.
2. The petitioner/accused no.4 was arrested and remanded to
judicial custody on 03.01.2026 for the alleged offences punishable under
Sections 147, 148, 120(b), 341, 302, 34 & 115 of IPC in Crime No.40 of
2024 on the file of the respondent police.
3. The case of the prosecution is that due to some previous enmity,
the petitioner along with other accused persons, waylaid the defacto
complainant, attacked him with a knife on his neck and hands, abused
him in filthy language and threatened him with dire consequences. Hence,
the case.
4. Mr.R.Rajesh, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the
petitioner is an innocent person and he has not committed any offence as
alleged by the prosecution. He further submits that the petitioner has been
in judicial custody since 03.01.2026. He further submits that the

petitioner has already been granted bail by this Court in
Crl.O.P.No.21830 of 2024 dated 05.09.2024 subject to certain conditions,
but was subsequently arrested for non-compliance with those conditions.
He further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent
conditions that may be imposed by this Court. He therefore prays to grant
bail to the petitioner.
5. Per contra, Mr.L.Baskaran, the learned Government Advocate
(Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent-police, submits that the final
report has been filed and the case has been taken on file in S.C.No.109 of
2024 before the learned District and Sessions Judge, Nagapattinam. He
further submits that there are 8 previous cases against the petitioner.
Therefore, he contends that, if the petitioner is released on bail, there is
possibility of committing similar offences in future and causing threat to
the defacto complainant. Hence, he prays for the dismissal of this
petition.
6. Heard on both sides. This Court has perused the records.
7. The petitioner has already been granted bail by this Court vide
