Mohd Abdul Khader , v. The State Of Telangana,

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.15149 of 2025 ORAL ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed seeking the Court to enlarge the petitioner, on bail, who is arrayed as accused in Crime No.208 of 2025 of Shahalibanda Police Station, Hyderabad.

2.

The brief facts of the case are that the de facto complainant reported that her 15-year-old daughter had gone missing from school on 10.11.2025 and was later found returning on a bike with the petitioner. Upon questioning, her daughter stated that she had accompanied the petitioner to a mall, watched a movie during which he allegedly kissed her, and later went with him to a restaurant before returning to school.

3.

Heard Sri Shaik Hussain, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent - State.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had been falsely implicated and that the complaint did not disclose any specific allegations constituting the alleged offences and that the petitioner was a student and the sole earning member of his family, and that his continued detention would cause irreparable harm to his education and reputation. He further submitted that the petitioner is in jail since 11.11.2025 and that the material part of the investigation was completed. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition.

5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the bail petition stating that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are serious in nature. At this stage, granting of bail to the petitioner does not arise. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition. 6.

In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and a perusal of the material available on record, it appears that the petitioner is in jail since 11.11.2025. As seen from the record, the material part of the

investigation has been completed and L.Ws.1 to 10 witnesses have been examined.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the incarceration period of the petitioner, this Court deems it fit to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions: i.
