ORDER:
This Criminal Revision Case is filed by the petitioner-de facto complainant-owner of the property seeking to set aside the Docket Order, dated 13j0.2025 in Crl.M.P.No.3249 of 2025 in P.R.C.No.26 of 2025 (arising out of Crime No.182 of 2025 of P.S. Bahadurpura) on the file of Special Judicial First Class Magistrate For Excise Cases, Hyderabad, to the extent of modifying the condition imposed in respect of furnishing personal bond for a sum of Rs.3 Lakhs with one surety for release of the petitioner's property, the petitioner further filed l.A.No.3 ot 2025 praying to furnish personal bond of Rs.5,0001 in the place of Rs.3 Lakhs, with one surety for release of the petitioner's property i.e. Gold Bead Chain/Mangalsutra. LA.Nos.3 of 2025 ln/and
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor,
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is a old aged widow and hails from economically weaker back ground and she cannot afford a huge deposit of Rs.3 Lakhs for return of her own Mangalsutra and that the learned Magistrate failed to consider the weak financial position of the petitioner, hence she prayed for allowing the Criminal Revision as well as the above lnterlocutory Application.
4. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor reported no objection for returning the property i.e Gold Bead Chain/Mangalsutra and sought for furnishing of personal bond by the petitioner for a reasonable amount and left it to the discretion of the Court to pass appropriate orders.
5. Having heard both the learned counsel and on perusal of the material available on record, the ownership of the property is not in dispute and it is the case of the petitioner that she cannot afford a huge deposit of Rs 3 Lakhs for her own Mangalsutra. Therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and poor financial condition of the petitioner, this Court is of the considered opinion that the condition imposed by the trial Court in respect of furnishing personal bond for a sum of Rs.3 Lakhs with one surety can be modified to furnishing personal bond for a sum of Rs.5,000.00 with one surety for release of property i.e. Gold Bead Chain/Mangalsutra.
6. With the above observations, this Criminal Revision Case as well as lnterlocutory Application are disposed of. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed //TRUE COPY// SD/.
