remanded to judicial custody on 22.5.2025 basing oh the confession
statement of co-accused. Evidently no contraband has been seized from
the possession of the petitioner. since the petitioner has been in remand
from 22.5.2025, this Court found that most of the investigation pertaining {o
the role played by the pe{i{ioner in the commission of the offence would be
completed. It is submitted that the petitioner is a permanent resident of
chintapalli MandaI, as such there is no possibility of his fleeing away from
justice and most of the witnesses are official witnesses and the release of
the petitioner would not cause tampering of evidence and hampering of
investigation. consI’dering the entire material on record, this court is
inclined to grant bail to the petitioner with some conditions.
9. ln the result, the Criminal petition is allowed with the following
conditions:
(i) The petitioner/A9 herein sha” be released on his executing a
personal bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five only) with
