The case of the prosecution is that the de facto complainant lodged a complaint before police on 02.03.2026 at about 20:30 hours stating that friends of Shaik Subhan informed the complainant that two unknown accused came to his college and forcefully kidnapped him on their two-wheeler. It is stated in the said complaint that the father of said Subhan has some business transactions with accused No.1 and he has some debts to A.1. Due to which A.1 took help of A.2 and A.3 for kidnap of said Subhan and committed the aforesaid offence. Hence, he requested the police to take necessary action against the accused. Basing on the same, police registered a case against the accused persons for the aforesaid offence.

5.

Learned counsel for the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3 would submit the petitioners are innocent of the offence

- 3 - alleged against them; that only to avoid payment to A.1, a false complaint has been lodged against the petitioners; that there are money transactions between accused No.1 and father of Subhan; that the petitioners have been in judicial custody since 03.03.2026; that material part of the investigation is already completed and hence, he prays to grant regular bail to the petitioners-accused Nos.2 and 3. 6.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the same and submits that the allegations levelled against the petitioners are severe in nature and that since investigation is not yet completed, the petitioners are not entitled for grant of bail and hence, he prays to dismiss the petitions.

7.

Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for both parties and perusal of the material on record, the petitioners have been in judicial custody since 03.03.2026. The record further shows that statements of L.Ws.1 to 13 were already recorded, custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not required as investigation is already in progress, this Court deems it fit to grant regular bail to the

- 4 - petitioners/accused Nos.2 and 3 subject to the following conditions:
