This Criminal Petition, under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (Cr.P.C.), is hled by the petitioners/A- 1 to A-4, for grant of anticipatory bail in Crime No. 17 of 2O20 of P.S. Danthalapally, Mahabubabad District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 42O,406,506 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(1)(r)(s), 3(2)(Va) of the SC/ST (POA) Act. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners/A-1 to A-4, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the respondentState and perused the record. In the FIR, it is infer alia stated that the de facto complainant lodged a complaint on 06.02.2020 at 18.30 hours stating that his father purchased land to an extent of Ac.1.16 gts in Survey No.591/2/A and Acs.2.13 gts in Survey No.

59212/AA and after the death of his father, the Said land was mutated in the name of his mother, A-3. A-3 transferred the same in favour of A-1 and A-1 illegally sold the same to A-4 and took Rs. 10.00 lakhs as advance with the help of A-2 and A-3. The de facto complainant, knowing the same, approached A-1 and A-4 sevEral times but they did not listen and later he approached the village elders and Sarpanch, but in vain. The petitioners threatened the complainant with dire consequences and cheated him. Hence, the complaint. Learned counsel for the petitioners/A-1 to A-4 would submit that the petitioners are innocent persons and never committed any offence as alleged by the respondent-police. It is further submitted that the petitioners are law-abiding citizens and have nothing to do -/ bp4:..

with the alleged offence. Further, they are ready to give sufficient sureties to the satisfaction of this Court to secure their presence on each and every date of hearing to face the trial and also ready to abide by the terms and conditions if any that may be imposed by this Court'for their release. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners/A- I to A-4.

Learned Additional Fublic Prosecutor representing the respondent-State opposed to grant anticipatory baii to the petitioners/A- 1 to A-4.

As seen from the contents of the FIR, it seems there are civil disputes pending between the parties.

Danthalapally, Mahabubabad District, within a period of 15 days from the date of this order.
