Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner and the defacto complainant are relatives and they had previous disputes 3 between them and due to the said reason, this false case was foisted against the petitioner and the ingredients of section 109(1) of B.N.S have no application to the facts of the case and prays to allow the criminal petition. 7. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor submits that the investigation is at crucial stage in this case and prays to dismiss the criminal petition. 8. A perusal of the record and the contents of the report shows that all the accused persons proceeded together and out of which some serious accusation have been made against Shaik Jeelani and Crime under section 3(5) of B.N.S. was also registered against the petitioner. Though at this stage it cannot be said that the petitioner has not participated in the commission of the offence with an intention to kill. But learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the anticipatory bail application on the ground that 12 antecedents were reported against the petitioner and rowdy sheet was also pending. In view of the same, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 9. In the result, the criminal petition is dismissed. ____________________________ JUSTICE T MALLIKARJUNA RAO Dated: 08.4.2025 RD 4 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE T MALLIKARJUNA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3456 of 2025 Dated: 08.4.2025 RD
