APHC010538742025 IN THE HIGH COURT OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT AMARAVATI (Special Original Jurisdiction) [3521] THURSDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY FIVE PRESENT THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE Y. LAKSHMANA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO: 10481/2025 Between: 1. RAVU SYAM, S/O SATYANARAYANA, AGED ABOUT 26 YEARS, R/O 7TH STREET. YETI AGRAHAM, NEAR CHUTTUGUNTA MIRCHIYARD, GUNTUR. ...PETITIONER/ACCUSED AND 1. THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH, Rep. by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of AP, Amaravati. ...RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT Counsel for the Petitioner/accused: 1. V V N NARASIMHAM Counsel for the Respondent/complainant: 1. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR The Court made the following: 2 ORDER: This criminal petition has been filed, under Sections 480 and 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, seeking to enlarge the petitioner- accused No. 1 on bail in crime No. 262 of 2021 of I Town L & O Police Station, Rajamahendravaram, registered for the offence punishable under Section 399 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner-accused No. 1 and learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. 3. The petitioner was arrested on execution of non-bailable warrant on 23-07-2025. He has been in judicial custody for the past 86 days. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there was a miscommunication between learned counsel appearing for the petitioner before learned trial Court and the petitioner; therefore, the petitioner could not appear before learned trial Court in time; that the petitioner is permanent resident of Guntur; that he has got fixed abode and that if one more fair opportunity is given to the petitioner, he would definitely attend before learned trial Court on each and every adjournment and would not cause any kind of inconvenience to learned trial Court. 4. Considering the above submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner, the request for enlarging the petitioner on bail is found convincing for the reason that it would take considerable length of time for taking up the matter for trial. Keeping until such indefinite period the petitioner in judicial custody would not serve any purpose since two more accused are to be 3 apprehended. Therefore, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner- accused No. 1 on bail. 5. The petitioner-accused No. 1 is, therefore, ordered to be enlarged on bail subject to his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of learned II Additional Judicial I Class Magistrate at Rajamahendravaram. After release, the petitioner-accused No. 1 shall appear on each and every adjournment before learned trial Court. 6. The criminal petition is accordingly allowed. _______________________ Dr. Y.LAKSHMANA RAO, J.
