AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.2913 OF 2026 DATE : 11.03.2026 Between :
Vankudothu Vijay ...
Petitioner/A.1 And The State of Telangana, Rep., by its Public Prosecutor, High Court for the State of Telangana, Hyderabad, ... Respondent/ Defacto Complainant : ORDER :
This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, by the petitioner/A.1 seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Crime No.32 of 2026 of Atmakur (S) Police Station, Suryapet District. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 108 r/w.3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
- 2 - 2.
The facts of the case are that the defacto complainant lodged a report on 24.02.2026 before police stating that his daughter-in-law had illicit relationship with the petitioner herein and when they were physically together, his son caught them, scolded and necked them out, but even then there was no change in the attitude of his daughter-in-law's behavior due to which his son committed suicide. Therefore, he requested the police to take action against the accused basing on which police registered the case against the accused for the above offences. 3.
Heard Smt K.Jayasree, learned counsel appearing for Sri K.Sreenivas, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M.Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.
4.
The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is innocent of the said allegations and he is falsely implicated in this case. There is no nexus between the incident which occurred two months back and the commission of suicide. There is no suicide note recovered by the police and no dying declaration is recorded. As such, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required in this case and prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
- 3 - 5.
The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed for grant of anticipatory bail contending that the allegations against the petitioner are severe in nature and due to the attitude of the petitioner herein, the deceased committed suicide. However, he informed the Court that there is no dying declaration recorded and no suicide note.
6.
Considering the submissions made by both the parties and the material on record, the petitioner herein is A.1 and the allegation against him is that he arrogantly replied to the deceased when he questioned about the illicit relationship between petitioner and A.2 which occurred two months prior to the commission of suicide of the deceased. Considering the date of incident and the date of commission of suicide, this Court deems it fit to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions :
i.
The petitioner shall surrender before the Station House Officer, Atmakur Police Station, Suryapet District within two weeks from today, and on such surrender, the said Station House Officer shall release the petitioner on bail on his executing a personal bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties, for the like sum each.
ii.
The petitioner shall appear before the concerned SHO between 09.00 a.m and 05.00 p.m., on every Wednesday for a
- 4 - period of eight (8) weeks, for the purpose of investigation or till filing of charge sheet whichever is earlier and thereafter, as and when required.
iii.
The petitioner shall abide by the other conditions stipulated in Section 482 (2) of BNSS and co-operate with the Investigating Officer in investigating the case.
7.
Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed.
Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _______________ K. SUJANA, J Date :11.03.2026 Rds
