Arbaz Khan @ Shaik Arbaz Khan v. The State Of Telangana

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.15986 of 2024 ORDER:

The brief facts of the case are that the victim was married to one Sajid Khan and later, the said Sajid Khan said triple talak to the victim. On 04.12.2024, when the victim, along with her parents, went to Sajid Khan house for settling the issues, the accused persons besides attacking the victim, also threatened her with dire consequences. Hence, a case was registered vide Crime No.187 of 2024 before the Renjal Police, Nizamabad District, for the offences punishable under Sections 85 and 109 read with 3(5) of the BNS. 3.

Heard Sri K.Venumadhav, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners as well as Sri Syed Yasar Manoon, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent and they are no way concerned with the alleged offences. He further submitted that though there is

no corroborative evidence, the petitioners are implicated in the case with false and fabricated allegations. He also submitted that the petitioners are residents of Renjal Mandal, Nizamabad District, with movable and immovable properties and are willing to furnish sureties as directed. Hence, he prayed the Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners stating that the investigation is not yet completed, therefore, granting anticipatory bail to the petitioners, at this stage, does not arise. Hence, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.

6.

Having regard to the submissions made by both the parties and a perusal of the material placed on record, it is apparent that the main allegation is that accused No.3 attacked the victim mercilessly, due to which, she sustained bleeding injuries. It is noteworthy that except omnibus allegations, there are no specific allegations against the petitioners. It is pertinent to note that material part of the investigation is completed. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the considered view that it is a fit case for granting of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

7.

Accordingly, this petition is allowed granting anticipatory bail to the petitioners subject to the following conditions:

i.

The petitioners shall surrender before the Station House Officer of P.S.

Renjal, Nizamabad, within two weeks from today, and on such surrender, the said Station House Officer shall release them on bail on executing a personal bond for Rs.25,000/- with two sureties, for the like sum each.
