2. The case of the prosecution is that on 10.12.2025 at

about 02:00 hours, the complainant Smt. Uppula Lingamma,

wife of Uppula Mallaiah, gave a complaint to the police stating

that on 09.12.2025 at about 11:00 hours during the night, her

husband Uppula Mallaiah, along with villagers Karingula

Mahesh, Karingula Shekar, and Uppula Pavan, was sitting near

the party symbol blocks (party dimmelu) in their village and

discussing. At that time, villagers namely Uppula Sathish,

Korvi Gangaiah, Veeraboina Sathish, Uppula Gangaiah, Uppula

Yalamanchi came to the spot and abused her husband in filthy

language, saying “Lanjakodakallara, meeru ikkada kurchuni

pracharam chesthunnara ? Pracharam chesthe mimmalni

champutham, lanjakodakallara.” Thereafter, the accused

pushed her husband on to the road and beat him. Accused

Uppula Sathish and Korvi Gangaiah attempted to kill him by

attacking him with a stone and a stick, hitting him on the head.

As a result, he fell on the road and sustained bleeding injuries

on his head. Meanwhile, villagers Korvi Naresh and Korvi

Ganesh and some others tried to rescue the complainant’s

husband from their clutches, but the accused also beat them

with sticks and hands. Hence, the complainant requested the

police to take necessary action against the accused basing on

- 3 -

which, the police registered the case against the accused for the

above offences.

3. Heard Sri Angothu Nehru, learned counsel appearing for

the petitioners and Sri M. Vivekananda Reddy, learned

Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.

4. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is

that petitioners are innocent of the said allegations and they are

no way connected with the alleged offences. The investigation is

almost completed. Petitioners are in jail from 10.12.2025. The

parents of the petitioners are old aged and they are dependents

on them. Petitioners would abide any conditions that may be

imposed by this Court and prayed this Court to grant bail to the

petitioners.

5. On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor

opposed bail stating that the allegation against the petitioners is

serious in nature. A.1 beat with cot wood and A.2 beat with a

stone on the injured head as a result he died. When Lw.3, 4, 8

and 9 tried to rescue the deceased, all the accused beat them

also. Investigation is also still pending. The post mortem

examination report of the deceased and the medical certificates

- 4 -

of the petitioners are yet to be received. The petitioners in this

case also suffered injuries in the said incident. Hence,

petitioners are not entitled for bail and prayed to dismiss this

petition.

6. Considering the submissions made and a perusal of

material on record, the allegations against the petitioners are

very serious in nature. In view of political rivalry the petitioners

along with other accused picked up quarrel with the deceased

and assaulted him with sticks and stones due to which he

received head injury and died. Considering the severity of

allegations against the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to

grant bail to the petitioners and the same is liable to be

dismissed.

7. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed.
