Mohd. Ghouse Khan v. Jadav Ganesh

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Revision Case No.2062 of 2015 ORDER:

The petitioner filed this Criminal Revision Case by invoking the provisions under Sections 397 and 401 of the Criminal Procedure Code being aggrieved by the order dated 07-07-2015 passed in S.C.No.26 of 2014 on the file of Special Sessions Judge for trial of cases under S.Cs. & S.Ts. (PoA) Act at Nizamabad. The learned trial Court while acquitting the petitioner-accused observed as follows :

"In the result, the accused is found not guilty for the charges under Sections 3(1)(x) of S.Cs. & S.Ts. (PoA) Act, 1989 and Section 506 I.P.C. and he is acquitted of the said charges under Section 235(1) Cr.P.C. The bail bonds of the accused shall stand cancelled after expiry of six month. The unmarked non-valuable property, if any shall be destroyed after expiry of appeal time." It is the grievance of the petitioner that normally bail bonds to be cancelled only after expiry of appeal time.

Admittedly, no appeal is preferred by the State in this case. Considering the same, the order passed by the trial Court directing to cancel the bail bonds after six months is modified to the period of appeal. If the appeal period is over by this time, the trial Court is directed to return the documents filed by the petitioner herein. Accordingly, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions pending in this revision, if any, shall stand closed.
