It is stated that the petitioner was involved in other cases with similar offences. Hence a case was registered vide Crime No.2481 of 2023 before the Cyber Crime Police, Hyderabad, for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 419 of IPC and Sections 66-C, 66-D of ITA.

3.

Heard Sri Ponampelli Ravi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri Syed Yasar Manoon, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner firstly submitted that the petitioner innocent and he is no way concerned with the alleged offences. He secondly submitted that without there being any specific allegations against the petitioner, the petitioner was falsely implicated in the case. He thirdly submitted that all the material witnesses were examined, and further detention of the petitioner is unnecessary. He

fourthly submitted that PT warrant was issued against the petitioner who was in judicial custody since 29.11.2023 in Crime No.65 of 2023, causing undue hardship to his family. He fifthly submitted that the petitioner is resident of Jamthaada District, Jharkhand, with movable and immovable properties, and is willing to furnish sureties as directed. He lastly submitted that previously, bail application of the petitioner, vide Crl.M.P.No.605 of 2024 in Crime No.70 of 2024 was dismissed by the Principal Judicial First Class Magistrate at Nagarkurnool, on 01.05.2024, without valid reasons and prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition. 5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the investigation is not yet completed in other cases, therefore, granting bail to the petitioner, at this stage, does not arise.
