THE HON'BLE SMT JUSTICE T.RAJANI CRIMINAL PETITION No. 914 of 2018 Between:
Geddada Karthik Kumar, S/o. Sri Brahmaji Rao Petitioner (Accused No.1 in Cr.No.499/2017 of P.M.Palem P.S., Visakhapatnam) AND State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court at Hyderabad - 500 066, through its SHO, P.M.Palem P.S., Visahapatnam.

The Petition coming on for hearing, upon perusing the petition and the grounds filed herein and upon hearing the arguments of Sri Deepak Misra, Advocate for the Petitioner and of the Public Prosecutor (AP) for the Respondent, the Court made the following ORDER:
" This petition is filed seeking for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, who is A1, in Crime No.499 of 2017 on the file of P.M.Palem Police Station, Visakhapatnam. The offences alleged are under Section 306 IPC. 2.
Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent.
3.
The public prosecutor brings to the notice of this Court, the fact that earlier the anticipatory bail petition filed by this petitioner was dismissed, by considering the merits of the case and the copy of the order is also furnished, a perusal of which shows that the court considered the merits and dismissed the case. But there is also an observation that the matter requires thorough investigation. Now, the investigation, as undisputed by the public prosecutor, is completed and fourteen witnesses were examined.
4.
Hence, considering the above circumstances, this court opines that this is a fit case for granting anticipatory bail.
5.
Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, P.M.Palem Police Station, Visakhapatnam, within 15 days from the date of this order. On such surrender, the petitioner shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the said Station House Officer.
