Inspector of Police Kallal P.S vs Pethuraj — 220/2026

Summary of Case 220/2026: The Judicial Magistrate Court, Karaikudi granted bail to Pethuraj (Accused No. 2) in a temple bell theft case, finding that while he was implicated based on co-accused's confession statement, there was no strong independent evidence connecting him to the alleged offense under Section 303(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and investigation had substantially progressed. The court balanced the gravity of allegations against his personal liberty and imposed stringent conditions including Rs. 1 lakh bond with sureties, twice-daily police reporting, non-absconding undertaking, and restrictions on witness contact and jurisdiction-leaving.
