Md. Shoukat Ali , Pappu v. The State Of Telangana.,Rep.,Pp

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.4286 of 2016 ORDER:

The petitioner who is A1 in Crime No.252 of 2007 of G.R.P., Kazipet, Warangal District, filed the present application under Sections 437 and 439 of the Code of the Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.), seeking enlargement on bail in the above crime registered for the offences punishable under Sections 328 and 379 of IPC.

The averments in the charge sheet disclose that the petitioner herein was arrested in Calcutta in respect of Crime registered therein on 17.12.2006. It appears that he was released on bail and thereafter he is said to have been arrested on 24.01.2008 at plat form No.4 of Hyderabad Railway Station in respect of the present crime and was produced before the concerned Court on 25.01.2008. The allegations against the petitioner is that he is in the habit of offering sedative drug mixed in eatables to the bonafide passengers by gaining confidence over them and when they become unconscious, he used to commit theft of the belonging of the passengers.

The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner was released on bail, but, subsequently, he jumped bail violating the conditions of bail, hence the petitioner was again arrested on 07.10.2015. It is said that since then he is in jail. He submits that having regard to the nature of allegations made, no purpose would be served in detaining him further. It is to be noted that petitioner is involved in nine crimes of this nature. The record also shows that earlier petitioner filed Crl.P.No.775 of 2016 before this Court seeking bail, which was dismissed on 01.02.2016. Having regard to the nature of allegations made; in view of the representation made by the public prosecutor that A1 in the present case, who faced trial, was convicted, and as the petitioner jumped bail violating

the conditions in the bail, I am not inclined to consider the request of the petitioner, moreso, when the case is coming up for fixation of the schedule. Hence, the present criminal petition is dismissed. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioner is in jail, the trial Court shall dispose of the matter as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of the order. As a sequel thereto, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending shall also stand dismissed.
