IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA
AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.4983 OF 2026 DATE : 06.05.2026 Between :
Thakur Sujatha ...
Petitioner/A.4 And The State of Telangana ... Respondent/Complainant : ORDER :
This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, by the petitioner/A.4 seeking anticipatory bail in connection with FIR No.20 of 2026 of Adilabad-I Town Police Station, Adilabad District. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 318(4), 316(5), 338, 336(3), 340(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
2.
The facts of the case are that on 08.01.2026 at about 14:00 hours, the complainant, Bompalli Raju, lodged a report stating that in the year 2024 he was introduced to Jettiboina
- 2 - Madhu Kiran and Sudhakar, who represented that they could provide outsourcing jobs in government offices through Vidyadhan Organization and Anantha E Solutions. Believing their assurances, the complainant agreed to pay money for securing a job and paid amounts through cash and online transfer. Thereafter, he was given a purported appointment order and was allowed to work as a College Office Subordinate at a Government Junior College, Adilabad, where he worked for about six months and received salary for a few months. Subsequently, when the salary stopped, the College authorities informed him that the appointment was fake and he was removed from service. On confronting the accused, they initially misled him and later admitted that no job existed and allegedly threatened him. It is thus alleged that the accused cheated the complainant by creating a fake appointment order and dishonestly induced him to part with money.
Hence, complainant requested the police to take necessary action against the accused.
3.
Heard Sri P. Sudarshan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M.Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.
- 3 - 4.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case, as there are no specific allegations or overt acts attributed to her in the complaint. It is contended that she is a law-abiding citizen with no criminal antecedents, not connected to the alleged offence in any manner, and has been unnecessarily roped in with ulterior motives. The counsel further submits that the petitioner apprehends arrest at the hands of the police despite having no role in the offence, and that the allegations against her are vague, baseless, and made only to harass and humiliate her. It is also submitted that she is a permanent resident with strong roots in society and is willing to cooperate with the investigation, and therefore there is no likelihood of her absconding. It is also contended that the petitioner is stated to be undergoing treatment for cancer, and her arrest would seriously endanger her health. Hence, prayed this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5.
The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed bail, contending that Accused Nos.1 to 5, in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy, formed a fake society in the name of "Vidyadhan" and created false appointment orders under "Anantha E Solutions" to cheat unemployed youth by promising outsourcing
- 4 - jobs in government institutions. It is submitted that the accused operated across the State of Telangana, collected large amounts from innocent persons, initially paid salary for a short period to gain confidence, and thereafter stopped payments and defrauded them. It is further contended that petitioner is involved in 12 cases, indicating a pattern of criminal conduct, and hence she is not entitled to bail and prayed to dismiss this petition.
6.
Considering the submissions made by both the counsel and the material on record, the petitioner herein is arrayed as A.4 and the allegation against her is that she also induced the victims and collected amount from them. However, petitioner filed the medical records showing that she is severely ill, which is also confirmed by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. Considering the medical condition of the petitioner, this Court deems it fit to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions :
i.
The petitioner shall surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate at Adilabad and execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum each.
On such execution, the trial Court is directed to release the petitioner on bail.
- 5 - ii.
The petitioner shall appear before the concerned SHO between 09.00 a.m and 05.00 p.m., on every Monday for a 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.
