AT HYDERABAD THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.7826 of 2026 DATE: 10.06.2026 BETWEEN:

Mohd Taiyyab Tyagi .....petitioner/accused No.3 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.3 in Crime No.28 of 2026 before the Sultan Bazar Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offence punishable under

Sections 310(4), 109, 309(4), 311 read with 3(5) of BNS and Section 27 of Arms Act.

2.

The brief facts of the case are that the case arises out of a complaint lodged on 31.01.2026 by the de facto complainant stating that while he was depositing Rs.6,00,000/- at an SBI ATM at Koti, Hyderabad, two unknown persons threatened him with a firearm, assaulted him, fired at him causing a gunshot injury to his leg, and robbed the cash bag and vehicle key before fleeing from the scene. Based on the said complaint, a case in Crime No. 28 of 2026 was registered for offences under Sections 109, 309 r/w 3(5) BNS and Section 27 of the Arms Act. During the course of investigation, the petitioner was arrayed as Accused No.3.

3.

Heard Sri Mohd Ghouse Pasha, 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 submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case without any specific overt acts attributed to him and that

the entire case is fabricated and the petitioner, who is a cab driver by profession, has no connection with the alleged offence. The petitioner has no criminal antecedents, is a permanent resident, and has family responsibilities. It is further submitted that investigation is substantially completed, witnesses have been examined, test identification parade has been conducted, and no custodial interrogation is required. The petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the investigation and abide by any conditions imposed by the Court. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this Criminal Petition. 5.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application contending that the allegations are serious in nature involving armed robbery and attempt to murder, wherein the victim was shot and injured and that the petitioner is involved in the commission of the offence along with other accused and that the investigation has revealed his role in the crime. 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 24.02.2026. As seen from the record, the material part of the investigation has been completed and L.Ws.1 to 23 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 petitioners, 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 II ACJM, Nampally, 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.
