Syed Sahail v. The State Of Telangana

THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE G. SRI DEVI CRIMINAL PETITION No.3658 of 2020 ORDER:

The present Criminal Petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, is filed by the petitioners/ A-1 and A-5 seeking to grant anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest in connection with Crime No.26 of 2020 of Kothur (M) Police Station, Cyberabad, which was registered for the offences punishable under Section 394 of I.P.C.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondentState and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the police falsely implicated the petitioners in this case as the petitioners challenged the detention order issued by the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad City, and this Court set aside the detention of order, vide order dated 04.07.2019 passed in W.P.Nos.408 and 436 of 2019. He further submits that the petitioners are ready to abide by any conditions that may be imposed in the event of their enlargement on anticipatory bail. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners stating that the petitioners are habitual offenders and as many as 38 Criminal Cases are pending against the petitioners.

As seen from the contents of F.I.R., there are specific allegations against the petitioners and in view of the submission made by the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor that as many as 38 Criminal Cases are pending against the petitioners for the grave offence punishable under Section 395 of I.P.C., I am not inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. However, the petitioners/ A-1 and A-5 are directed to surrender before the Court concerned within a period of two weeks from today and file an application for bail before the Court concerned after giving prior notice to the Public Prosecutor, in which event, the same can be disposed of in accordance with law.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________ JUSTICE G.SRI DEVI 03.09.2020 gkv
