Appikatla Ramarao v. State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE T.SUNIL CHOWDARY CRIMINAL PETITION No.6183 of 2017 ORDER:

This petition is filed, by the petitioner/accused No.1, under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.93 of 2017 on the file of the Station House Officer, Koduru Police Station, Krishna District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 324 and 506 read with 34 I.P.C. 2.

It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner lodged a complaint against the de-facto complainant and his family members; therefore the petitioner was falsely implicated in this case.

3.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the bail. 4.

It is the case of the prosecution that on 22.06.2017 some altercation took place between the de-facto complainant and the petitioner. It is the further case of the prosecution that the petitioner herein along with his son beat the de-facto complainant. 5.

The petitioner filed Crl.M.P.No.314 of 2017 on the file of the Court of the I Additional Sessions Judge, Krishna at Machilipatnam and the same was dismissed on 14.07.2017. 6.

A perusal of the record reveals that basing on the complaint lodged by the petitioner, the Station House Officer, Koduru Police Station, registered a case in Crime No.94 of 2017 against the de-facto complainant and his family members for the offences punishable under Sections 324 and 323 read with 34 I.P.C. The record further reveals that both parties lodged complaints against

each other. The record clearly reveals the role played by the petitioner in the commission of the offences. 7.

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the considered view that it is not a fit case to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner.

8.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ________________________ T.SUNIL CHOWDARY, J Date: 24.08.2017 Ivd
