Mohammed Aamer v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.14204 of 2025 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed before this Court for grant of bail to the Petitioner who is arrayed as accused No.2 in FIR No.284 of 2025 of Chikkadpally Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under Section 303 (2), 317(2) and 111(2)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (for short 'BNS').

2.

The brief facts of the case are that on 11.10.2025, the de facto complainant lodged a report before the police stating that in August 2025, one P.Shiva Kumar came to the complainant's shop at Baghlingampally X Roads for the repair of his two-wheeler, a red Pulsar bike bearing registration No. AP 09 BG 5068, stating that the vehicle had a problem with the fuel tank. Later, on 10.10.2025, when the complainant came to the shop, he found that the vehicle was missing. Upon verification of the CCTV footage, it was noticed that three unknown persons had come to the shop and had taken the vehicle by towing it away. Hence, he requested to take necessary action. Basing on the said complaint, the police registered a case for the above said offences. According to the prosecution, the petitioner herein used to purchase stolen property. Earlier also, two crimes were registered against the petitioner vide Crime No.277 of 2025 and Crime No.532 of 2025.

3.

Heard Sri V.Vijay Shankar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri Arun Kumar Doddla, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for respondents.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is in no way connected with the said offences. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 16.10.2025 and the material part of the investigation has already been completed. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant regular bail to him by allowing this criminal petition.

5.

On the other hand, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, contending that the allegations against the petitioner are of a serious and grievous nature. He further submitted that the petitioner is involved in similar offences and that if he is enlarged on regular bail at this stage, there is every likelihood that he will repeat the same. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.

6.

Considering the submissions made by both the learned counsel and upon perusal of the material available on record, it appears that Section 317(2) of the BNS may not be attracted to the present case. The petitioner has been in judicial custody since 16.10.2025. As seen from the record, other crimes were also registered consecutively as Crime Nos.532 of 2025 and 277 of 2025 and there has been no recovery from the petitioner. Having regard to the progress of the

investigation, it is also seen that LWs.1 to 6 have already been examined. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court finds it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioner/accused No.2 subject to the following conditions.

i.

The petitioner/accused No.2 shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) each, with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned IX Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate at Nampally, Hyderabad.

ii.

The petitioner/accused No.2 shall appear before the concerned SHO at 11:00 a.m., on every Monday for a period of eight (8) week or till filing of charge sheet whichever is earlier, for the purpose of investigation, and thereafter, as and when required.

iii.

The petitioner/accused No.2 shall abide by the conditions stipulated in Section 437(3) of Cr.P.C. (presently, Section 480(3) of the BNSS).

7.

Accordingly, the Criminal petition is allowed. Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed. _______________ K. SUJANA, J Date: 07.11.2025 DSV/SRK
