Inspector of Police Kallal P.S vs Pethuraj — 231/2026

Case Summary: Crl.M.P.No.231/2026 The Judicial Magistrate Court, Karaikudi granted bail to Pethuraj (accused no. 2) in a temple bell theft case. The court found that while Pethuraj was implicated based solely on the confession of co-accused no. 1, there was no strong independent evidence connecting him to the offense, and the investigation was substantially complete. Consequently, the court deemed continued detention unnecessary and released him on bail with stringent conditions including a Rs. 1 lakh bond, daily police reporting, and restrictions on absconding or tampering with evidence.
