IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA
AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.6419 of 2026 DATE: 06.05.2026 BETWEEN:
Hazari Dinesh Singh @ Tinku Singh .....petitioner/accused No.2 And The State of Telangana, Rep. by Public Prosecutor, High Court for the State of Telangana, at Hyderabad.
.....Respondent/complainant
ORDER
This Criminal Petition is filed praying this Court to enlarge the petitioner on bail who is arrayed as accused No.2 in Crime No.74 of 2026 before the Gudimalkapur Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offence punishable
under Sections 8c read with 20(b)(ii)(B), 27A and 29 of NDPS Act.
2.
The brief facts of the case are that a case in Crime No.74 of 2026 was registered by Gudimalkapur Police Station for offences under the NDPS Act. On 26.02.2026, acting on credible information, the police conducted a raid near Grand Garden Function Hall, Moghal-ka-Nala, and apprehended two persons who were allegedly carrying ganja for sale. The police seized 5.1 kilograms of ganja and a mobile phone from their possession. During interrogation, they allegedly stated that they had purchased the contraband from the petitioner, who was arrayed as Accused No.2.
3.
Heard Sri Umesh Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri M. Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State.
4.
Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated without any direct involvement in the offence and that the petitioner was arrested from a different place without warrant and
implicated only on the basis of alleged confessional statements of co-accused. He submitted that no material was collected to show that the petitioner supplied ganja or was involved in sale or purchase of the contraband and that the prosecution story is doubtful since the alleged supplier was already in judicial custody in another case on the relevant date. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this Criminal Petition.
5.
Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application contending that the petitioner is involved in a serious narcotic offence under the NDPS Act and that during investigation, the arrested accused disclosed the petitioner's role as supplier of ganja and the seized quantity is intermediate quantity. Further, the investigation was not yet completed. At this stage, granting of bail to the petitioner does not arise. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.
6.
In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and a perusal of the material available on record, it appears that the petitioner is in jail since 27.02.2026. As seen from the record, the material part of the
investigation has been completed and L.Ws.1 to 12 witnesses have been examined.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the incarceration period of the petitioner, this Court deems it fit 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) each, with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the XVI Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hyderabad.
ii.
The petitioner shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Monday for a period of eight (8) week or till filing of charge sheet whichever is earlier, for the purpose of investigation, and thereafter, as and when required.
iii.
The petitioner shall abide by the conditions stipulated in Section 437(3)
of Cr.P.C.(presently, Section 480(3) of the BNSS).
7.
Accordingly, the Criminal petition is allowed. Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed.
