THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA CRIMINAL PETITION NO: 1749 of 2026 ORDER:-

The Criminal Petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 by the Petitioner/Accused No.1 for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Crime No.13 of 2026 of Renigunta Police Station, Tirupathi District, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 403, 409 and 418 read with 34 IPC read with 156(3) of CrPC.

2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor representing the Respondent-State. Perused the material on record.

3. Learned counsel for the Petitioner would submit that the petitioner herein is falsely implicated in the present crime. Learned counsel would further submit that the petitioner is innocent and, he is ready to furnish sureties to the satisfaction of the Court. Learned counsel finally prays to allow the petition.

4. Per contra, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the petition by stating that serious allegations are made against the petitioner. It is observed that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required in this matter and the investigation is at a nascent stage and therefore, the petitioner herein does not deserve for anticipatory bail and hence, prays for dismissal of the petition.

5. A perusal of the material on record goes to show that the allegation made against the petitioner is that he had wrongfully and fraudulently transferred and credited amounts from the bank to the bank account of A2, who is none other than his mother-in-law, during the period from 12.09.2023 to 31.01.2024.

6. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the prima facie allegations made against the petitioner, it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
