Crl.M.P.No.573/2026
(Crime No.202/2026 of V. Satram Police Station)
Lakshmisetty Sai Teja, Son of Nanda. … Petitioner/Accused No.13 Vs., State: S.H.O, V. Satram P.S Police station, S.P.S.R Nellore District.…Respondent/Complainant.
This petition is coming on 14.05.2026 for hearing before me, in the presence of Sri Malireddy S, Advocate for the Petitioner/A13 and of Sri Ch. Rajesh, Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent, and having stood over for consideration to this day, this Court made the following:-
O R D E R
This is an application filed by the Petitioner/Accused No.13 under Section 483 of B.N.S.S, for grant of regular bail in connection with
Crime No.202/2021 of V Satram Police Station, S.P.S.R Nellore District registered for the offence under sec.307 r/w 34 of IPC.
2.It is the contention of the petitioner that he is innocent and never committed any offence. The respondent police in collusion with the complainant, falsely implicated the petitioner in this case with ulterior motives and the petitioner was detained under preventive detention Act, in the month of April, 2025. It is also the contention of the petitioner that since April, 2025 the petitioner was in judicial custody. There are no wilful latches on the part of the petitioner for his absence before the trial court and the petitioner will appear for every adjournment and moreover the
2
respondent police also filed charge sheet and there is no chance of tampering the evidence or threatening the witnesses. The petitioner is having roots in the society and is ready to furnish sufficient sureties for the release and also will abide any conditions that may be imposed by this court and as such, prayed for enlarging the petitioner on bail.
3. It is the case of the prosecution that on 01.06.2021 at about 01.00 p.m at Cinema hall centre, Sarvepalli village, V.Satram Mandal, the complainant Sadepalli Chinna Ankaiah himself and Badvelu Venkata
Ramanaiah were talking, the accused 1 to 7 and some others with an intention to do away with the complainant, came in 04 motor cycles arming with knives, attacked him and caused severe bleeding injuries over his head, left shoulder, keeping the grudge against him as he mediated an issued between A1 and one Cheekiri Hari of Josephpet village in favour of Cheekiri Hari. Later the complainant lodged a report in the police station.
4.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner/A13 is innocent and the entire investigation was completed, charge sheet was also filed and also numbered as PRC.No.34 of 2024 and sought for enlarging the petitioner on bail.
5.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor also conceded that the investigation is completed and charge sheet is also filed.
6.Now the point for consideration is that:- “Whether the Petitioner/A13 is entitled for bail as prayed for”?
7.POINT :
As could be seen from the case dairy, it shows that the date of offence was on 01.06.2021 and basing on the complaint, V. Satram
Police registered the FIR against this petitioner/A13 along with other accused i.e., A1 to A12 and A14 to A19 for the offences under secs.307 r/w 34 IPC in the above crime. The petitioner/A13 was arrested on 07.06.2023 and subsequently, he was released on bail. After completing
3
the entire investigation by the concerned Investigating Officer, charge sheet was filed in the above case. During the committal proceedings
before the learned IV Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Nellore
on 02.02.2026 NBW was issued against the petitioner/A13 as he was called absent and there was no representation on his behalf.
Subsequently on 04.04.2026, the petitioner/A13 was produced before the committal court on execution of NBW and he was remanded to judicial custody.
(ii)The Case dairy further shows the charge sheet was numbered as PRC.No.34/2024 before the learned IV Additional Judicial
Magistrate of First Class, Nellore and the same was committed for trial on
05.05.2026 to the court of Sessions.
(iii)Now this application was filed by the learned counsel
for the petitioner/A13 by stating that this case was falsely implicated
against him and further the petitioner/A13 was detained under preventive
Detention Act in the month of April, 2025 and since, then the petitioner/
A13 was in judicial custody. So there are no willful latches on the part of the petitioner for his absence before the committal court.
(iv)As seen from the record, the entire investigation was completed, charge sheet was filed and it was numbered and the matter was also committed to the court of Sessions by the committal court. So, there is no chance for the petitioner/A13 to tamper the evidence in this case. Hence on considering the above circumstances, accordingly this point is answered in favour of the petitioner/A13.
8.In the result, the petition is allowed, subject to the following conditions :
(i) The Petitioner/Accused No.13 is enlarged on bail on executing his personal bond for Rs.25,000/- with two fresh sureties for like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned IV Additional Judicial
Magistrate of First Class, Nellore.
(ii) The Petitioner/Accused No.13 should not leave the jurisdiction of the court without seeking prior permission of the court.
