Maribyina Venkaiah v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

SMT JUSTICE T.RAJANI CRIMINAL PETITION No.12665 OF 2017 ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed seeking for reduction of the surety amount that was initially imposed in Crl.M.P. No.1248 of 2016 in Crime No.182 of 2013, on 15.06.2016, and later in Crl.M.P. No.135 of 2017 in Crime No.182 of 2013, on 06.02.2017, by the Principal Sessions Judge, Guntur (for short, 'the lower Court'), while granting bail to the petitioners/accused Nos.4 and 13.

2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State, and perused the record. 3.

Learned Public Prosecutor submits that the petitioners have already furnished the said sureties, as per the directions of the lower Court, and they were on bail; subsequently, when they failed to appear before the lower Court, warrant was issued and, in execution of the warrant, the petitioners were produced before the lower Court. 4.

Hence, in the above circumstances, the contention of the petitioners' counsel that the petitioners are not in a position to produce the sureties to the extent stipulated by the lower Court, by virtue of the orders in Crl.M.P. No.1248 of 2016 and Crl.M.P. No.135 of 2017 cannot be said to be tenable, as they have already furnished the sureties. Hence, in view of the above, this Criminal Petition is dismissed. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand dismissed.
