K.Naresh v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.2248 of 2025 ORDER:

Seeking the Court to enlarge the petitioner who is arrayed as accused in C.O.R.No.12 of 2025 of Prohibition and Excise Police Station, Uppal, Medchal-Malkajgiri District, on bail, the present Criminal Petition is filed.

2.

The brief facts of the case are that on 12.02.2025, at 7:05 p.m., the SI, DTF Malkajgiri party raided Nacharam and seized 1.746 kg of dry ganja and a Dio bike (TS08 JL2395) from the accused.

The accused was taken into custody under a panchanama and the case papers and property were handed over to the Moula-Ali SHO, Uppal. A case was registered upon receipt, and the accused, along with the original case papers, was produced before the trial Court for judicial remand. 3.

Heard Smt. P. Vijaya Lakshmi, 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 submitted that the seized contraband is only of intermediate quantity and that he was falsely

implicated with fabricated allegations, despite a lack of corroborative evidence. He further submitted that all key witnesses have been examined, making further detention unnecessary. The petitioner has been in judicial custody since 12.02.2025, causing hardship to his family. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioners 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, therefore, granting bail to the petitioner, at this stage, does not arise. Hence, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition. 6.

After considering submissions from both the parties and reviewing the material available on record, since the seized contraband is Intermediate Quantity and the petitioner is languishing in jail from 12.02.2025 and also material part of investigation is completed, as such, this Court deems it fit to grant bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions: i.

The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only), with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial

Magistrate of First Class, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar.

ii.

The petitioner shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Monday for a period of eight (8) week or till filing of charge sheet whichever is earlier, for the purpose of investigation, and thereafter, as and when required.

iii.

The petitioner shall abide by the conditions stipulated in Section 437(3) of Cr.P.C.

(presently, Section 480(3) of the BNSS).

7.

Accordingly, the Criminal petition is allowed. Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed.
