THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE Y. LAKSHMANA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO: 12026/2025 ORDER: Criminal Petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 by the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1, 3 and 4 for granting of pre-arrest bail in connection with Crime No.122 of 2025 of Madanapalli Taluk Police Station, Madanapalli, Annamayya District, registered for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 140(2), 115(2) 118(1), 127(3) and 351(2) read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. Perused the record. 3. As seen from the record, this Court, in Crl.P.No.6631 of 2025 dated 28.07.2025, dismissed the petition for pre-arrest bail, but granted liberty to Accused No.1 to surrender before the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate. Similarly, in Crl.P.No.7697 of 2025 dated 13.07.2025, a similar order was passed in respect of Accused Nos.3 and 4. Inspite of these orders, the petitioners have chosen to file the present criminal petition seeking pre-arrest bail. 4. The Hon’ble Apex Court in G.R. Ananda Babu v. State of Tamil Nadu1 at para No.6 held as under: “6…As a matter of fact, successive anticipatory bail applications ought not to be entertained and more so, when the case diary and the status report, clearly indicated that the accused (Respondent 2) is absconding and not cooperating with the investigation. The specious reason of change in circumstances cannot be invoked for successive anticipatory bail applications, once it is rejected by a speaking order and that too by the same Judge.” 1 (2021) 16 SCC 725 2 5. The learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw the Criminal Petition but urges to grant liberty to the petitioners to surrender before the learned Jurisdictional Magistrate. 6. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed as withdrawn, granting liberty to the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1, 3 and 4 to surrender before the learned jurisdictional Magistrate concerned within a period of ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the copy of this order and move an appropriate application before the learned Jurisdictional Court concerned for enlarging them on bail. The learned Jurisdictional Judge may endeavour to dispose of the application on its own merits in accordance with law by affording due and sufficient opportunity to both sides and pass appropriate orders within a period of one (01) week as far as possible. _________________________ DR.
