The facts of the case are that on 19.02.2020, a complaint was lodged by Korra Rajesh, stating that he had received information through his friend regarding jobs in Mudra Agriculture & Skill Development Multi-State Co-operative Society Limited. He went to the central office at Nallakunta, situated at H.No.2-1477, Ground Floor, Pratheek Towers, Nallakunta, Hyderabad, and met the Chairman, Sri Thippineni Ramadasappa Naidu, who told him that in order to secure a job, he had to deposit an amount of Rs.1,00,000/-. Accordingly, the complainant deposited the amount
- 2 - and received an appointment order in June 2017 and at the time of joining, the Chairman informed him that the society would be converted into a bank within two years and that he would be paid a salary of Rs.20,000/- per month. In November 2017, he joined as a cashier in the Mudra Agriculture & Skill Development MultiState Co-operative Society Limited at Kandukur Mandal, Rangareddy District. For the first few months, he was paid Rs.4,000/- per month, later Rs.8,000/- per month, and he was given targets to collect deposits from farmers. The employees were harassed physically and mentally if they failed to achieve the targets, their salaries were cut without assigning any reason.
The Society collected deposits by pasting flex boards showing that it was connected with the "Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana" and later launched another scheme styled as "KCR Sahakara Runa Bhavanam," projecting it as a Government Society to attract deposits from farmers. On 31-01-2020, the complainant resigned to his job and requested the Chairman to return his deposit amount of Rs.90,000/- and his original certificates. Instead, Chairman Ramadasappa Naidu threatened him and demanded Rs.10,00,000/-.

Heard Sri Syed Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Sri Syed Yasar Mamoon, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.

The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioner No.1 who is A.2 delivered a baby boy on 30.05.2025 and had C-section to her; that the doctors suggested petitioner No.1 six months bed rest. Now she is having infant baby of 2 months and a two and half year child and both children are dependent on her. There are no allegations against this petitioner except the fact that she is the daughter of A.1 and already A.1 to A.3 are in jail i.e., father and son and that the custodial interrogation of this petitioner is not necessary. Further petitioner No.2 who is A.4 is the wife of A.1 and there are no specific allegations against her. As such, requested this Court to grant anticipatory bail to these petitioners.
- 4 - 5.
On the other hand learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the same stating that the petitioners herein are also involved in the crime and there are specific allegations against these petitioners also. A.2 and A.4 are the family members of A.1 and from the very inception they joined the society with an ill intention who actively participated in siphoning of funds collected from the general public and innocent unemployed youth. A.2 misappropriated an amount of Rs.65,08,509/- of the society's funds by diverting the same to her personal accounts and A.4 who is the wife of A.1 misappropriated an amount of Rs.10,36,332/- of the society's funds by diverting the same to her personal bank accounts. As such, requested the Court to dismiss this petition. 6.
Considering the submissions made by the respective counsel and the material placed on record, the contention of petitioners is that recently petitioner No.1-A.2 gave birth to a baby boy and to that extent documents are also filed and considering the health condition and the situation of A.2 that she has to take care of infant, this court is inclined to grant bail to A.2. With regard to A.4, she is the wife of A.1 and the main allegations are against A.1 and that he is already in jail. As such, this Court deems it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioners/A.2 and A.4 subject to the following conditions:
- 5 - i.
The petitioners/A.2 and A.4 shall surrender before the Station House Officer, Nallakunta Police Station, Hyderabad City Police, within two weeks from today, and on such surrender, the said Station House Officer shall release the petitioners on bail on their executing a personal bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only) each with two sureties, for the like sum each.
ii.
The petitioners/A.2 and A.4 shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Wednesday for a period of eight (8) weeks, for the purpose of investigation and thereafter, as and when required.
iii.
The petitioners/A.2 and A.4 shall abide by the other conditions stipulated in Section 482(2) of BNSS and co-operate with the Investigating Officer in investigating the case.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _______________ K. SUJANA, J Date :20.08.2025 Rds
