PUBLIC PROSECUTOR 2 THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE VENKATA JYOTHIRMAI PRATAPA CRIMINAL PETITION NO: 12492/2025 ORDER: This Criminal Petition, under Sections 480 and 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been filed by the petitioners/Accused Nos.2 & 5, seeking regular bail, in Crime.No. 249 of 2025 on the file of Ongole Taluka Police Station, Prakasam District, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 331(5), 103(2), 351(2), 58, 49 read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (for brevity ‘the BNS’). 2. Heard Sri Sivaprasad Reddy Venati, learned counsel for the petitioners/Accused Nos.2 and 5, and Mrs.K.Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the State. 3. This is the 2nd bail application filed before this Court. Earlier, the Co- ordinate Bench of this Court dismissed the bail application filed by the petitioners/Accused Nos.2 and 5, vide Crl.P.No.11441 of 2025, dated 18.11.2025. 4. The learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that the investigation is substantially complete, the preliminary charge sheet has been filed on 11.08.2025, and key witnesses have already been examined. Therefore, further custodial interrogation serves no purpose. 3 5. The learned Assistant Public Prosecutor on behalf of the State would submit that the present case pertains to a heinous and premeditated offence involving the brutal murder of the deceased, which has shocked the conscience of society. The allegations against the accused persons, including the present petitioners, disclose a clear and well-orchestrated criminal conspiracy resulting in the intentional taking of a human life. The gravity and seriousness of the offence, coupled with the way it was executed, disentitle the petitioners to the relief of bail at this stage. She would further submit that there is no change of circumstances from the date of dismissal of the 1st bail application in Crl.P.No.11441 of 2025, dated 18.11.2025. She finally submits that the petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Considering the nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the petitioners, their alleged role played in this case and there is no change of circumstances from the date of dismissal of the 1st bail application in Crl.P.No.11441 of 2025, dated 18.11.2025, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail at this stage. 7. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this Criminal Petition shall stand closed. __________________________________________ DR.
