    Summary: The Judicial Magistrate Court of Thiruvadanai granted bail to Govinthan (age 55), accused of stealing three batteries from a gram E-Sewa centre, charged under Sections 331(4) and 305 BNS. The court found that while the offenses are serious, further incarceration was unwarranted given the accused's local residence reducing flight risk, substantially completed investigation, and 52 days already in custody. Bail was granted on condition of executing a Rs. 10,000 bond with two sureties and daily court attendance at 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM, along with restrictions on committing similar offenses and witness interference.
