The brief facts of the case are that, on 28.02.2026, at about 19:00 hrs the de-facto complainant lodged a

complaint stating that from the year 2009, the petitioner and de-facto complainant are friends and they both conducted a business with the same company. Relying on their acquaintance and assurance of repayment on demands of accused, the complainant advanced loans to the accused on multiple occasions. Despite repeated demands, the petitioner failed to repay the amount. Thereby, the petitioner had committed the offence of cheating. The petitioner also involved in the offences under Sections 386, 354, 307, 506 and 509 of IPC. The complainant was witnessing the cases against the petitioner. The petitioner threatened the de-facto complainant with dire consequences and also sent multiple vulgar obscene whatsapp messages targeting his daughter containing indecent and abusive content. Hence, the complainant requested the police for necessary action. Basing on the same, the police registered a case against the petitioner for the aforementioned offences.

Heard Mr.

Hussain Aamir, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as

Sri M. Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for respondent-State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the said allegations and there are no specific allegations against the petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in jail from 23.03.2026 and the material part of investigation is completed. Though there are two cases similarly registered against the accused, the petitioner was acquitted on the ground that there was no material evidence in the investigation to array the petitioner as accused. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition. 5.

On the other hand, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor opposing the petition stating that the allegations against the petitioner are heinous and grievous in nature. If the petitioner is released on bail, he will repeat the similar offences. The petitioner was earlier implicated in the offence under Section 354-D of IPC in another similar case. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the petition.

6.

In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and upon perusal of the material available on record, it appears that the petitioner is in jail from 22.03.2026, and as seen from the record, LW.1 to LW.8 were already examined. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the allegations, the stage of investigation, the duration of incarceration, this Court finds it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions. i.

The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only), with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned I Additional Junior Civil Judge - cum- IX Additional Metropolitan Magistrate, Cybearabad, Ranga Reddy District at Kukatpally.
