This petition is for anticipatory bail.
2. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that first accused
offered an elephant to the temple. Petitioner is second accused,
who is the Executive Officer of TTK Devaswom, who received the
elephant for the temple. He also submitted that a Writ Petition was
filed and a direction was issued to the forest officials to consider
the petition filed by the Devaswom Board in respect of the dispute.
The Devaswom Board also approached the forest officials to permit
the Devaswom Board to keep the elephant in the temple. The
requests are being considered by the Forest Department and hence,
there is no threat of arrest at present and therefore, the petitioner

apprehension of arrest at present or atleast until the petition filed
by the Devaswom Board is considered and disposed of by the forest
