Bail can be canceled for deliberate violations of imposed conditions, as such actions compromise the integrity of the judicial process.

ORDER :

JUVVADI SRIDEVI, J.

Petitioner/de facto complainant has preferred this criminal petition seeking to cancel the bail granted to the 2^nd respondent/accused No.1, vide order dated 24.06.2024 in Crl.M.P.No.1583 of 2024 on the file of Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar in Crime No.443 of 2021 of P.S. Rayadurgam.

2. Heard Sri Y.Srinivasa Murthy, learned Senior Counsel appearing for Smt.Uma Devi Nama, counsel for petitioner/ de facto complainant and Sri C.Pratap Reddy, learned Senior Counsel appearing for Sri C.Sunil Anand, counsel for respondent No.2/accused No.1 and perused the record.

3. Petitioner herein, who has worked as President of “Chitrapuri Sadhana Samithi”, has lodged a complaint with the Rayadurgam Police stating that the State Government has allotted an extent of Acs.67.16 Guntas of land in Sy.No.246/1 of Manikonda Jagir to ‘Telugu Cine Workers Co-operative Housing Society Limited’ at Rs.40/- per square yard, for allotment to the cine workers who are not having any land or houses. It is alleged in the complaint that due to hike in prices of land in the area, the 2^nd respondent herein, being the Secretary of the Union, admitted 9153 members into the Society against the available plots of 4213, by creating fake ID cards and by forging the signatures of the Committee of IAS Officers appointed for allotment of plots. Thus, it is alleged that the 2^nd respondent/accused No.1 has allotted plots to the non-eligible persons and also got transferred amounts from the accounts of the Society to the personal accounts of the Members of the Society and thereby misappropriated crores of rupees.

4. Basing on the above complaint, Crime No.443 of 2021 was registered against the 2^nd respondent herein and others for the offences under Sections 409, 420, 468, 471, 506 and 120-B of IPC. The 2^nd respondent/accused No.1 has filed an application in Crl.M.P.No.1583 of 2024 before the trial Court, wherein, he has questioned the registration of crime against him and also sought for grant of bail. The main ground urged for grant of bail was that though the crime was registered in the year 2021, he was arrested only on 21.05.2024 i.e. after lapse of three years and that if any allegations are there against the Executive Committee Members of the Society, the remedy for the aggrieved party is to approach the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, but the complainant has approached the Police and the Police, without issuing notice under Section 41-A of Cr.P.C., have arrested the 2^nd respondent/accused No.1.

5. The prosecution has opposed the said application contending that if accused No.1 is released on bail, he may tamper the evidence and that he may abscond, as the other accused in the crime were also absconding.

6. On considering the rival contentions of the parties, ultimately, the trial Court has allowed the above application by order, dated 24.06.2024 granting bail to the 2^nd respondent/accused No.1, however, by imposing certain conditions. Condition No.(ii), which is alleged to have been violated, reads as under:

“The petitioner/accused No.1 shall not leave the local limits of the jurisdiction of the Court without prior permission of the concerned Court.”

7. The grounds urged for cancellation of bail are that the 2^nd respondent/accused No.1 has violated the above condition by moving away from the local limits of the jurisdiction of the trial Court without prior permission by visiting Vijayawada on 26.06.2024,
