    Summary: The Judicial Magistrate of Thiruvadanai granted bail to Govinthan, accused of stealing three batteries from a gram E-Sewa centre under BNS Sections 331(4) and 305, finding that while the offense is serious, continued incarceration was unwarranted after 52 days in custody given the completed investigation, absence of flight risk (permanent local resident), and no evidence of witness tampering. The accused was released on Rs. 10,000 bail with two sureties, subject to conditions including daily court appearances at 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM, non-commission of similar offenses, cooperation with the trial, and non-interference with evidence or witnesses.
