The case of the prosecution is that the de-facto complainant alleged that on 13.05.2024 at about 1:30 p.m., in view of the general election, the de-facto complainant being a follower of T..D.P. Party along with Keshav Reddy and others was at the P.W.D Colony polling booth, the Accused No.1 along with few others, approached the polling booth, threat ended the de-facto complainant and further the Accused No.1 and few others attacked the de-facto complainan{ causing bleeding injuries, upo'n the cries made by the de-facto complainant the by slanders made call to the 108 Ambulance, the de-facto complainant was shifted to hospital at Narsaraopet. Basing on the report of the complainant, a case was registered against the petitioners/accused Nos.24 to 26 and others. 3. Sri Rama Lakshmana Reddy, the learned counsel for the petitioners, submits that the petitioners have not committed any offence; they were falsely implicated in this case; they are the 'sole breadwinners of their family; they are ready to abide any conditions to be imposed by this'court; and urged to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. 4. Per confra, Mr. Neelotphal Ganji, the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor, opposed in granting of bail stating that investigation is not /, 3 iull yet completed; if the petitioners were granted Pre-arrest bail, they Will repeat the same offence and urged to dismiss the bail petit-IOn. 5. Perused the record. 6. On perusal of the record, Accused Nos.24 to 26 were shown as accused based on the confession given by Accused No.23. In the iiiiii± E- sta{ement given by the de-facto complainant, there was no reference about the present petitioners. A learned Single Judge of this Court, in ---------- crl.p.No.631 of 2025 dated 30.01.2025, granted pre-arrest bail to Accused No.18, Initially, when the case was registered On 13.05.2024, Accused Nos.1 to 6 were shown as accused. There was no explanation as to why so much delay was caused in adding the names of the petitioners in the present cr-lme. It is not in d'ISPute that Accused Nos.15, 19, and 20 were also granted pre-arrest bail by this Court. 7. ln view of the nature of the allegations leveled against the petitioners, their alleged role played in this case and the time taken for showing the petitioners as accused in this case, this Court, feels it appropriate to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. 8. ln the result, the Criminal Pet'ltion is allowed with the following conditions: 4 i. ln the event of their arrest, the petitioners/Accused Nos.24 to 26 shall be enlarged on bail subject to them executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), e¢ach with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the arresting police officials; ii.
