Heard Sri R.Sujan Kumar, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and Mrs.K.Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor on behalf of the Respondent No.1-State. 3. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 13.01.2026 at about 3.30 p.m. in front of the defacto complainant’s house at Peddakotla village, A.1 to A.4 who belongs to the same village picked up quarrel with the defacto complainant, abused him in filthy language and beat him with stone and sticks and thereby caused grievous injuries. When the wife of defacto complainant came to his rescue, the accused also beat her with sticks and stones and caused injuries. Hence, the crime. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners had lodged a complaint against the defacto complainant and others, which came to be registered as Crime No.1 of 2026 on the file of Tadimarri Police Station, and that the present case is nothing but a counter-blast to the said complaint. He would further submit that the petitioners are ready and willing to abide by any conditions that may be imposed by this Court, and therefore, prays that the petition be allowed by imposing appropriate conditions. 3 5. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor would submit that the defacto complainant and his wife sustained grievous injuries and that the present case is a counter-case. She would, therefore, pray for dismissal of the petition. 6. Having considered the submissions made on either side and upon careful perusal of the material available on record, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioners have failed to make out any special or exceptional case warranting grant of anticipatory bail. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners at this stage. 7. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed. As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. ___________________________________ DR.VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA, J Date: 15.04.2026 SAB 4 182 THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA CRIMINAL PETITION NO: 2612 of 2026 Dt: 15.04.2026 SAB
