G. Yugender v. The State Of Telangana

HON'BLE Dr. JUSTICE CHILLAKUR SUMALATHA CRIMINAL PETITION No.10000 of 2022 ORDER:

Heard Sri D.Y.L.N.Charyulu, learned counsel for the petitioner, as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor who is representing the respondent.

2.

Seeking the Court to enlarge the petitioner, who is arrayed as accused No.5 in Crime No.673 of 2022 of S.R.Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad, on bail, the present Criminal Petition is filed.

3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is in judicial custody since more than two months. By bringing to the notice of this Court, the order rendered in Criminal Petition No.8529 of 2022, dated 28.9.2022, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner stands on the same footing as that of the petitioner therein-accused No.6 and therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4.

In the order rendered in Criminal Petition No.8529 of 2022, this Court has taken a view that non-compliance of Section 50 of the Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, is a ground for grant of bail.

5.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor did not state that the petitioner stands on a different footing. 6.

As per the material available on record, the petitioner and accused No.6 were arrested on the same day and time. Therefore, the analogy applied in the Criminal Petition referred supra has to be applied in the present case also. Hence, this Court considers it desirable to honour the request of the petitioner for grant of bail, however conditionally.

7.

One such photograph is ordered to be pasted in the Surety Register against the name of the surety. The other photograph shall be kept in the case record concerned.
