.... Respondent/Complainant

O R D E R

This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 480 and 483 of BNSS seeking grant of bail to the petitioner, who is arrayed as an accused No.2 in P.R.C. No.30 of 2017 arising out of Crime No.444 of 2016 on the file of Jagadigirigutta Police Station. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Section 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. 2.

The petitioner herein failed to appear before the trial Court. Consequently, the trial Court issued a Non-Bailable

- 2 - Warrant (NBW) against the petitioner and remanded him to judicial custody on 16.06.2026.

3.

Heard Sri Godugu Mallesham, learned counsel for petitioner as well as Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the allegations levelled against her and had been regularly attending the Court on earlier occasions except the alleged date. He further submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody on 16.06.2026 pursuant to the execution of NBW and that the case is presently at the stage of P.R.C. and there is no possibility of conducting trial in the near future. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition. 5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the petition, contending that the petitioner failed to appear before the trial Court without any justifiable cause, thereby delaying the proceedings. He further submitted that the trial Court has rightly issued NBW and remanded the petitioner to judicial custody and that if the petitioner is enlarged on bail,

- 3 - the petitioner may again fail to appear before the trial Court. Hence, prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition. 6.

Having considered the rival submissions and upon perusal of the material available on record, it is evident that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 16.06.2026. The record further discloses that the case is presently at the stage of P.R.C. and therefore, the trial is not likely to conclude in the near future. Taking into account the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the stage of the proceedings and the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioner is entitled to be enlarged on bail, subject to the following conditions: i.

The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned XIV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Medchal-Malkajgiri District at Kukatpally.

ii.

The petitioner shall abide by the conditions stipulated in Section 437(3) of Cr.P.C. (presently, Section 480(3) of the BNSS).

- 4 - iii.

The petitioner shall cooperate with the trial by appearing before the trial Court on each and every adjournment till the conclusion of the trial. 7.

Accordingly, the Criminal petition is allowed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _______________ K. SUJANA, J Date: 02.07.2026 SS
