THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE K. SUJANA CRIMINAL PETITION No.12480 of 2025

ORDER:

This Criminal Petition is filed seeking the Court to enlarge the petitioner on bail, who is arrayed as accused No.1 in Crime No.650 of 2025 before the Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offences punishable under sections 143, 144(2) of BNS, and Sections

3, 4 and 7 of PIT Act, 1956.

2. The brief facts of the case are that the police received information about a brothel house operating from Flat No. 105, Everest Block C, Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet, Hyderabad. Based on this information, Sub Inspector R. Raju of the SR Nagar police station obtained a search warrant from the Assistant Commissioner of Police. On August 23, 2025, at around 6:45 PM, the police team, along with two panchas (witnesses), conducted a raid on the premises. During the raid, they found two female sex workers and a male customer. The person who answered the door, claimed to be the organizer. The police documented the details of all individuals present and seized relevant evidence.

3. Heard Sri Harsheet Reddy, learned counsel for petitioner, and Sri Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State.

4. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner, Accused No. 1, is innocent and falsely implicated in the case based on a confession statement. He further submitted that the petitioner runs a legitimate business, namely, Sri Laxmi Bricks Supplies, and alleges that business rivalry led to the false accusations of organizing a brothel house. He contended that the police investigation is flawed, and there is no prima facie evidence against the petitioner. He asserted that the petitioner has a good reputation in society, has no criminal antecedents, and is willing to cooperate with the investigation and face trial. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition.

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the matter is pending investigation and the allegations against the petitioner are of serious nature. Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.

6. Having regard to the rival submissions made and on going through the material placed on record, it is noted that previously the petitioner had filed Crl.MP.No.4689 of 2025 before the trial Court, seeking the relief of anticipatory bail and the same was dismissed vide order dated 18.09.2024. That being so, it is noticed that there are no changed circumstances back then in the earlier bail petition, and the present bail petition. That apart, it is specifically alleged that the petitioner is main organizer. As such, this Court is not inclined to grant the relief as sought for, by the petitioner. There are no merits in this Criminal Petition, and the same is liable to be dismissed.

7. Accordingly, the Criminal petition is dismissed.

Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed.
