Muniyaraj vs Inspector of Police — 756/2026

Summary The Principal District & Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, dismissed the anticipatory bail petition filed by Raja @ Muniyaraja, accused of misappropriating Rs. 13 lakh in loan installments collected from 65 self-help groups (SHGs) as a collection agent for Sri Lakshmi Ammal Trust. The court found the prosecution's allegations credible—that the accused collected funds meant for bank deposits, fabricated bank receipts, and misappropriated the money while SHG members' loan accounts were declared as defaulters. Considering the nature of the offence, serious allegations, ongoing investigation, and risk of absconding/witness tampering, the court declined to grant anticipatory bail at that stage.
