This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 480 & 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 praying this Court to enlarge the petitioner on bail who is arrayed as accused No.1 in Crime No.230 of 2026 of Jawahar Nagar Police Station, Malkajgiri.

2.

The facts of the case are that on 14.02.2026 at about 18:00 hours, the defacto complainant lodged a complaint

- 2 - stating that on 31.01.2026 at about 16.40 hours, while he was travelling from Janapriya to Dammaiguda, the complainant was intercepted at Jammigadda by a group of persons who kidnapped and assaulted him. He was taken to an isolated place on the Bhuvanagiri-Jangaon route, where he was again assaulted and forced to admit to having a relationship with his sister's daughter, Shanmukhi aged about 17 years. Out of fear, he admitted the same and his statement was recorded. Later, he was moved to another unknown location where his gold chain and mobile phone were robbed. Subsequently, his sister Madhuri, her family members, and others also assaulted him before dropping him back at Jammigadda with his car. The complainant later identified some of the accused as Sai, Mahesh, and suspects that one Jangamayya Goud trapped Shanmukhi, misused her, and tried to falsely implicate him. Hence, requested the police to take necessary action against the accused basing on which the presence crime is registered against the accused for the above offences.

3.

Heard Sri P. Manoj, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Sri M. Ramachandra Reddy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State.

- 3 - 4.

The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner/Accused No.1 is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case due to personal vendetta arising out of financial disputes with petitioner's family. It is further submitted that the petitioner herein has already been arrested in another Crime No.184 of 2026 on 05.02.2026 and he was remanded to the judicial custody on 23.03.2026 in the present case. It is further submitted that the prosecution witnesses LW's 1 to 10 have already been examined and no further investigation is required in the present case. Hence, prayed this Court to grant regular bail to the petitioner 5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed bail contending that the offence committed by the petitioner is serious in nature. The petitioner along with other accused assaulted the complainant. Further, the investigation is not yet completed. If the petitioner is released on bail, he may threaten the witnesses and tamper with evidence. Hence, petitioner 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 in jail since 23.03.2026 and has already been arrested in another Crime

- 4 - No.184 of 2026 on 05.02.2026. As seen from the remand case diary, the prosecution witnesses, LWs 1 to 10 have already been examined and all the other accused were already granted bail, considering the allegations against the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions :

i.
