These five Criminal Petition, Mos.3054, 3056, 3057, 3060 and 3061-of 2023 are heard and disposed Of by Way Of this common Order, aS the petitioners in those petitions are accused in one crime. CASE OF THE PROSECUTION: 3. The case for the prosecution, in a nutshell, is that the complainant submI-tied a report Stating that her marriage took Place in the year 2014 with accused No.1 and that she has given birth to two children. Prior to ll.04.2023, at the house of accused No.1, H.No.16-446/ll, MachavaramMettu, Machavaram, Chilakalapudi, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, accused No.1 harassed' the defacto complainant both mentally and physically. ACcused No.2 also harassed 'her and attempted to satisfy his sexual desire. Accused Nos.3 to 6 supported accused Nos.1 and 2, while accused No.7 took nude photos of the de facto complainant via phone and also demanded sexual favors. All the accused threatened her with dire consequences and i'nsulted her modesty. CONTENTIONS OF THE COUNSEL FOR THE PETITIONER: 4. Sri N. Ravi Prasad, Iearne-d counsel for the Petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 7, respectfully submits that the Petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case and have not committed any offence as alleged. The Petitioners are the sole earning members of their families, and their arrest would cause irreparable hardship to their dependents. The crime occurred in / 2023, and the investigation has been completed with the charge sheet has already been filed. Th'e PetitI-OnerS are Willing to abide by any conditions that this Court may deem fit and proper for the grant of anticipatory bail. The +i 5 \ ;: '--_-I--i i.f_ Petitioners have got fixed abod and have cooperated with the trial before the learned trial Court. There is no likelihood of their absconding or tampering with prosecution evidence. Therefore, it is prayed that this Court may be pleased to grant pre-arrest bail to the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 7 in the interest of justice. ARGUMENTS OF THE ASSISTANT PUBLIC PROSECUTOR: 5. Per contra, Ms. P. Akila Naidu, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, vehemently opposed the granting of pre-arrest bail, contending that the petit'loners are not available for investigation. The investigation in this case has been completed, and the charge sheet has been filed, but the C.C. number is still awaited. lt is submitted that if the Petitioners are granted pre- arrest bail, they may influence witnesses or tamper with evidence, 'thereby c,bstructing a fair and impartial trial. ln view of the seriousness of the allegations and the potential risk to the 'lntegrity of the investigation, it is prayed that the instant bail applications be dismissed. 6. Thoughtful consideration is bestowed on the arguments advanced by the learned Counsel for both sides, I have -perused the entire record. POINT FOR CONSIDERATION: 7. !n the light of the case of the prosecution and the contentions Of the learnec! counsel for both the sides, now the point for consideration is: "whether the Petitioners are entitled for grant of pro-arrest bail?" ' ,I f| --`!-ch-` 8. The defacto comp[ajnant in her report dated ll.04.2023 lodged to the police alleged that petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 7 caused cruelty and harassment to the de facto comp!al-nant, threatened her with dire consequences, and two of the petjtjoners outraged her modesty. The defacto complainant and accused No.1 are husband and wI'fe. The learned Assl'stant public Prosecutor submits that the investI'gatjOn has been completed and the charge sheet has been fI'Ied, but the c.c. number I-s awaI-ted. The de facto complainant submitted a computer typed report runnI-ng into four pages, leveling allegatI|OnS against the Petitioners. petI'tiOner No.1/accused No.3 is approx[|mately 82 years old, she js grandmother of defacto complainant. petI|tl-Oner No.3/accused No.5 js of approximately 58 years old, she Its sister-in- law of defacto complainant. The de facto compla[-nant has arrayed not only her husband as an accused but also the grandmother of her husband and other relatives. Accused No.7 js a friend of accused No.1. 9. The accused No.1-Maddula Nagaraju, who js a physI-Otherapist by profession, married the defacto complaI-nant on 07.06.2014. They belong to different communitI-eS: the accused No.1 belongs to the Mala community, whl-le the defacto complajnant belongs to the Gowda community. They were blessed wI-th two Children, a daughter and a son. on 17.04.2O23, the accused No.1 subml'tted an appljca{jon to the authorj{]-es through spandana, allegI®ng alleging that his wife/defacto complainant had developed illegal intimacy with Bade Srinivas Gandhi and Putti-Srin'lvasa Rao, who are the neighbOurS Of accused No.1. The Call Detail Records (C.D.Rs.) between the defaCtO complainant and these two individuals Were Submitted With the Petition. Additionally, on 12.02.2023, the accused No.1-Maddula Nagaraju, filed a report with the station House Officer of Chilakalapudi Police Station, leveling similar allegat'lons against the defacto complainant. Thus, there are allegat'IOnS and counter-allegations between the accused and the defaCtO complainant. The accused No.1 has expressed fear that the defaCtO complainant, through her alleged illegal intimacy with the above mentioned two persons, may cause his .death at any moment. The petitioners are permanent res'ldents of Krishna Distr'lct. Since the entire investigation has been completed and the charge sheet filed, but the Case Was not yet numbered, the question 6f petitioners threatening the witnesses or hampering the investigation or tampering the evidence may not arise. 10. In view of the nature of the allegations leveled against the Petitioners, the completion of investigation, and the filing of the charge sheet, this Court is inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners with the following stringent •,I Conditions: a) ln the event of arrest of the petitioners/accused Mos.1 to 7shall be enlarged on bail On executing a Personal bond for a Sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees ten thousand only)each with two sureties _-:~i:A. for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the arresting police officials; b) The Petitioners/accused Nos.1 to 7 shall appear before the learned trial Court on every adjournment and shall cooperate with the trial. ll. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition Nos.3054, 3056, 3057, 3060 and 3061 of 2023 are allowed. / SD/-A. VIJAYA BABU ASSISTANT GISTRAR //TRUE COPY// Rdi SEC-rION-dFFICER To, 1.
