    The Judicial Magistrate of Thiruvadanai granted bail to Govinthan, accused of stealing three batteries from a gram E-Sewa centre under Sections 331(4) and 305 BNS. The court found that while the offense is serious, continued incarceration was unwarranted given the accused's 52-day custody, local residence reducing flight risk, and substantially completed investigation. Bail was granted subject to conditions including a Rs. 10,000 bond with two sureties, daily court reporting at 10:30 AM and 5:00 PM, and restrictions on committing similar offenses or tampering with evidence.
