CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Thursday dismissed two applications seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to Rajendran of Raja Annamalaipuram here in a case relating to murder. In his order dismissing the petitions, Justice M.Jeyapaul said the person had social roots in the city and a permanent abode. Therefore, the question of fleeing from justice would not arise. The police case is that on January 30, Sivasami was done to death on the Annamalai University campus. He was proceeding on his motorcycle towards his office on Vice-Chancellor Bungalow Road, when the accused Kumar and Sivamani, following on another motorcycle, drew alongside him and the pillion rider inflicted a heavy blow on his neck with a ‘veecharuval,’ almost beheading him. On the complaint of Pandian, an FIR was registered by the Annamalai Nagar police station. Rajendran was granted anticipatory bail in the case by the Principal Sessions Judge (PSJ), Cuddalore. Challenging this, T.S. Arun Kumar, a relative of the deceased, and the Inspector of Police, Annamalai Nagar, Cuddalore district, filed petitions seeking to cancel the order of anticipatory bail. Mr. Justice Jeyapaul said Rajendran had complied with the conditions imposed by the PSJ without fail. If at all, the investigating agency required his presence for the purpose of further interrogation to complete the course of investigation, he could be at any time summoned for interrogation. Such a liberty had been given to the investigating agency by the PSJ, Cuddalore. Heinous crimeHe said that the prosecution had come out with a case of heinous crime of murder. But, the PSJ, having gone through the case diary, had observed that no statement had been recorded under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C from any of the witnesses to substantiate the sole confession statement available at that point of time from the co-accused Natarajan. The judge said the court was not happy with the manner in which the application seeking modification and relaxation of conditions were entertained by the PSJ within a short span of time. But, such modification after the order of anticipatory bail could not be a substantial ground for cancelling the bail granted.
