CRLP/10468/2026 of ABDUL FAREED KHAN, Vs The State of Telangana on 9 July 2026

: ORDER :

This Criminal Petition is filed under Sections 480 and 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, by the petitioner/Accused No.5, seeking his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested pursuant to the execution of a Non- Bailable Warrant on 12.06.2026 and was remanded to judicial custody on 15.06.2026. Thereafter, he filed a bail application before the trial Court, which was dismissed on the ground that he had not been appearing before the Court and was not cooperating with the trial, and that the case was at the stage of committal (PRC). The petitioner is arrayed as Accused No.5 in Crime No.11 of 2024 of Balapur Police Station, Rachakonda District, which is pending on the file of the I- Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ranga Reddy District at L.B. Nagar. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

2. Heard Sri Syed Osman, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri D.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.

3. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that, except on the date when the petitioner remained absent, he had been regularly appearing before the trial Court on every date of hearing. Learned counsel further submitted the case status of the trial Court, which shows that the petitioner was present on each and every adjournment, except on the said date. As such, requested this Court to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. On the other hand, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application, contending that due to non-appearance of petitioner the case is at PRC stage and it is not yet committed to the Sessions Court. If petitioner is granted bail, he may abscond and the proceedings may be delayed. As such, petitioner is not entitled to bail and prayed to dismiss this petition.

5. Considering the submissions made by both the learned counsel and the material available on record, this Court observes that the petitioner had been regularly appearing before the trial Court on every date of hearing, except on the day when he remained absent on account of the marriage ceremony of his brother. Hence, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions:

i. The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the I- Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar.

ii. The petitioner shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of adjournment without fail.

iii. The petitioner shall not file any application seeking dispensation of his personal appearance before the trial Court on any date of hearing.

iv. The petitioner shall cooperate with the trial court and shall not, directly or indirectly, influence or threaten the witnesses or tamper with the prosecution evidence.

v. In the event of violation of any of the above conditions, it is open to the prosecution to seek cancellation of bail granted to the petitioner in accordance with law.

6. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed. _______________ K. SUJANA, J Date :09.07.2026 Rds
