Jagarapu Appala Raju , Nagarapu Appala Raju v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE T.SUNIL CHOWDARY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.4002 OF 2017 ORDER:

Petitioner, who is A2 in Cr.No.47 of 2017 on the file of Station House Officer, Uppal Police Station, Ranga Reddy District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC, filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking anticipatory bail.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner strenuously submitted that the petitioner has nothing to do with the alleged offence. He further submitted that the de facto complainant foisted a false case against the petitioner, who is an innocent person.

3.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State of Telangana submitted that the petitioner collected money from the de facto complainant by making a false promise that he will provide a job to him in a Railway Department. He further submitted that the petitioner collected money from the innocent people by cheating them; therefore, it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 4.

A perusal of the record reveals that basing on the complaint lodged by N.V.Prasad, the Station House Officer, Uppal P.S. registered a case in Cr.No.47of 2017 for the offence punishable under Section 420 IPC. As per the allegations made in the complaint, the petitioner collected an amount of Rs.3,00,000/- from the de facto complaint by making a false promise that he will provide a job to him in the Railway Department. It is further alleged that he made a false statement to the de facto complaint that his wife is an IPS Officer in Jarkhand State. A perusal of the record prima facie reveals that the petitioner collected an amount of

Rs.3,00,000/- along with A1 by making a false promise that he will provide a job to the de facto complainant in Railway Department. It is not uncommon that some ingenious persons are collecting huge amounts from un-employees by making false and dubious promise. If the Court shows any lenient view in these type of cases, that goes a wrong signal to the society. Taking into consideration the gravity of the offence alleged to have been committed by the petitioner, this Court is of the considered view that it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, in this Petition shall stand closed.
