HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No. 16248 of 2014 ORDER:

The petitioner, who is accused No.1, filed the present application under Section 437 and 439 Cr.P.C. seeking enlargement on bail in Crime No.41 of 2014 of Tadikalapudi Police Station, West Godavari District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 457, 380, 302 and 201 IPC.

The case of the prosecution is that on the intervening night of 8/9-03.2014 the petitioner along with others gained entrance in the house of deceased (Vasa Anjaneyulu) through open doors and made open the iron safe with available keys. Later they committed theft of cash of Rs.1,50,000/-, gold and silver ornaments worth Rs.8,00,000/- and decamped with booty while killing the deceased. The investigation done by the police reveals that the petitioner along with others committed the said offence.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. A perusal of the C.D. file which has been placed before the Court would show that the petitioner is involved in three cases which were registered for the offences of similar nature. The record further discloses recovery of property belonging to the deceased from the possession of the accused. Though the investigation is completed and charge sheet is filed in almost all the three cases, but having regard to the fact that the petitioner is involved in three cases of similar nature and in view of the apprehension expressed by the learned Public Prosecutor that there is every possibility of the petitioner evading the process of law in case if he is released on bail, the request

of the petitioner is rejected.

However, the learned Magistrate concerned shall commit the case to the Court of Sessions at the earliest and the Sessions Judge concerned shall take all steps to dispose of the case as expeditiously as possible. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _____________________ C. PRAVEEN KUMAR, J 20.01.2015 gkv
