IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA

AT HYDERABAD

THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA

CRIMINAL PETITION No.16787 OF 2025

29.12.2025

Between :

Mustafa Basith

… Petitioner/Accused No.2

And

The State of Telangana,

Rep., by its Public Prosecutor,

High Court of Hyderabad

… Respondent/Complainant

: ORDER :

This criminal petition is filed under Section 482 of

Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 by the

petitioner/Accused No.2 seeking anticipatory bail in connection

with FIR No.388 of 2025 of Sangareddy Town Police Station,

Sangareddy. The offences alleged against the petitioner are

under Sections 318 (4), 336 (3), 340(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya

Sanhita, 2023.

2. The facts of the case are that on 14.10.2025, the de-facto

complainant-L. Veerajun Reddy who is Superintendent of the

2

Principal District and Sessions Judge, Sangareddy lodged a

complaint stating that he received a representation from Sri

Shaik Fareed and Smt. Nagamani along with documents stated

to be orders in O.S.No.121 of 2024 on the file of Il Addl. District

and Sessions Court, Sangareddy and O.S.No.160 of 2024 on the

file of Addl. Senior Civil Judge Court, Sangareddy. After

verifying the concerned records, it is found that no injunction or

status quo order was passed by the Hon'ble Court in both the

cases, only urgent notice to the defendants was issued and the

C.A. numbers mentioned in the documents are not found in the

records. It is further stated that the documents also have fake

court seals and a forged signature. Hence he requested to take

necessary action. Basing on the above complaint, the Police

registered a case in Cr.No.388 of 2025 for the above offences.

3. Heard Sri Mohd. Muzaferrullah Khan, learned counsel for

the petitioner and Sri D.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public

Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.

4. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that

in the complaint it is nowhere stated that petitioner forged,

fabricated, altered or tampered with any judicial document. The

petitioner is an advocate practicing in civil, criminal and

constitutional courts including this Court. Petitioner had no

3

knowledge about the alleged fraud or fabrication of documents

more so judicial documents until registration of crime. He

further contended that the notice attached with the alleged

fabricated order contains the signature alleged to have been

signed by the petitioner but in fact he has neither signed any of

the alleged notice nor it stated about any status quo order. In

fact two notices were used with two different dates with two

different signatures of which neither of the signatures bear the

original signature of the petitioner. The signature on the alleged

forged document is visibly different from those on the

petitioner’s vakalat and affidavit. He further submitted that

some other persons have conspired and committed this crime

and falsely implicated the petitioner in this case. Hence,

prayed this Court to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor

opposed bail stating that the allegations against the petitioner

are serious in nature. The petitioner has forged, impersonated

and fabricated the court records. The custodial interrogation of

the petitioner is very much necessary to find out involvement of

other persons in this crime. Hence, petitioner is not entitled for

bail and prayed to dismiss this petition.

6. Considering the submissions made by both counsel and

perusal of the material on record, the contention of petitioner is

that he is arrayed as A.2 and A.1 is already granted anticipatory

bail by this Court and there is no material to show that

petitioner herein fabricated the said document and he had

already sent signature on vakalat and the letter head to the

Truth Labs which gave a report stating that both the signatures

are not one and the same and the beneficiary is A.1 and there is

no such benefit under the said proceedings to the petitioner,

whereas the alleged communication is on the
