HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH
N. HARINATH, J
Danaboina Balaji – Appellant
Versus
The State Of Andhra Pradesh – Respondent
Criminal Petition No: 6561/2025



Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: GINJUPALLI SUBBA RAO
For the Respondents: PUBLIC PROSECUTOR

The court upheld the dismissal of a criminal petition due to insufficient evidence for interference at the investigation stage.

Headnote:The petitioner, arraigned as Accused No.4 in Crime No.29 of 2025, is charged under specific provisions of the BNS and NDPS Acts. The petitioner contends that the only incriminating evidence is the confession of a co-accused without seizure from his custody. The court finds the nature of allegations insufficient to interfere at this stage. The issues before the court concern the implications of hearsay evidence and the status of an ongoing investigation. The court concludes that the Criminal Petition is dismissed.
