    Summary: The Principal District and Sessions Judge at Tiruvallur granted anticipatory bail to three petitioners (Kannan, Santhi, and Ranjith) in a case involving charges under Section 296(b) of BNS and Section 67 of the IT Act, stemming from a dispute over morphed photographs uploaded on WhatsApp. The court considered the minor nature of the offence (punishable up to 7 years), the petitioners' status as local first-time offenders with no serious injuries caused, and substantial completion of investigation. Bail was granted on execution of Rs. 10,000 bonds each with sureties, surrender within 15 days, and daily police reporting for 30 days.
