TI{[ HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION No.2767 of 2019 ORDER:
The petitioners, who are accused Nos.5 to 8, filed the present application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking release in the event of their arrest in connection with Crime No.34 of 2019 of Manuguru Police Station, Bhadradri Kothagudem (Old Khammam) District, registered for the offence punishable under Section 306 IPC. According to the prosecution case, on 21.01.2019, the deceased had gone to the house of his inJaws at Thakkelapadu Village, Chillakallu Mandal, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, and requested his wife-Dhana Laxmi (A.3) to retum to the matrimonial house along with him. In the meantime, his brother-in-law (A.1) and father-in-law (A.2) and some other relatives started abusing the deceased in filthy language and also abetted him to commit suicide. They also assaulted the deceased.
Thereafter, the deceased came back to his native place and he committed suicide on 12113.02.2019 by hanging himself in the Railway Quarters at Manuguru, Bhadradri Kothagudem (Old Khammam) District, Telangana State. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. Perused the material on record.
It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the facts as mentioned in the F.l.R. are all false, baseless and concocted for the purpose of the case. The petitioners have never committed any offence, nor they have abetted the deceased to commit suicide. The petitioners are \ t
not responsible for the death of the deceased. It is further submitted that a plain reading of the F.I.R., no case is made out against the petitioners for the offence under Section 306 IPC and the ingredients to constitute the offence are not made out.
Looking into the nature of offence and since the distance between the deceased going to his in-laws house and the place of commission of suicide by him is too long and also the deceased committed suicide after lapse of20 days of the alleged abetment, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners on certain terms and conditions. Accordingly, the criminal petition is allowed and the petitioners/A.5 to A.8 are directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, Manuguru Police Station, Bhadradri Kothagudem (O1d l(rammam) District, within a period of fifteen days from today and on such surrender, the petitioners shall be released on bail on their executing personal bond for Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand only) each with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the said Station House Officer. Further, petitioner Nos.l,2, and 4/A.5, A.6 and A.8 shall appear before the said Station House Officer on every Wednesday and Saturday between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. for a period of six weeks or till filing of the charge sheet, whichever is earlier.
Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/-N.CHANDRA SEKHA RAO ASSIS NTR TRAR //TRUE COPY// For ASSIST T REGISTRAR
