And
State S.H.O. of Singanamala P.S.…Respondent/Complainant.
This petition is coming on 07.05.2026 for hearing before me in the presence of Sri S.K. Chandrasekhar, sri S. Shameer Basha, Sri B. Shaikshavali, Advocates for the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 4 and the 2 learned Spl. Public Prosecutor for the respondent/complainant, and after hearing both sides this Court delivered the following:-
// O R D E R //
This is the 3rd bail application filed by the Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 4 under Section 483 of BNSS to enlarge them on bail.
2)Briefly stated the case of the prosecution is that, the petitioners 1 and 2 are sons of Petitioner No.3 namely Dandora Lakshmi Devi and they belonged to S.C. Madiga Community. The petitioner No.1 to 3 are the sons and first wife of late Dandora Nallappa. Dandora Nallappa had contacted second marriage with Deceased No.2/Dandora Yellamma and through her he be got two sons, among them the Deceased No.1/Dandora Ambedkar @
Chinna is one of their sons. After the death of Dandora Nallappa there arose differences among widows and their children with regard to share in the agriculture lands and house property of Dandora Nallappa. Keeping said dispute in mind, the petitioners No. 1 and 2 conspired with Accused Nos.4 and 5 namely., Boya Meenuga Sreenivasulu @ Srinivas and Mandla Sai
Kiran @ Jutlu to eliminate Deceased Nos.1 and 2. On the night of 02.02.2026 at about 10:30 PM the petitioners and the Accused No.5 came to victim’s residence in a white Swift Desire Car and initiated quarrel with the
Deceased Nos.1 and 2. They attacked Deceased No.1 with sickle and sticks causing his immediate death. When Deceased No.2 i.e., Dandora Yellamma tried to save herself by hiding, she was searched and brutally attacked with sticks and sickles, resulting her death and her head was also decapitated.
Then the Petitioners and the Accused No.5 fled away from the scene of offence. The petitioners and the Accused No.5 with a premeditated plan entered into the village and killed the Deceased Nos.1 and 2 brutally and in gruesome manner creating shock and terror in the villagers. Then based on the complaint of VRA of Tarimala Village, the S.H.O Singanamalia P.S registered a case in Cr.No.11/2026 for the offences under Secs.103 (1) r/w.3 3 (5) of BNS and investigated into the matter. Then Investigating Officer i.e.,
Deputy Superintendent of Police during course of his investigation arrested the petitioners and the Accused No.5 on 19.02.2026 and on observing all procedural formalities, he forwarded them to the Hon’ble Spl. Judicial
Magistrate of First Class (Proh. & Excise), Ananthapuramu for remand and
since then the petitioners have been in judicial custody.
3) The learned counsel for petitioners argued that the petitioners are innocents, they have been falsely implicated in this case. There are no specific overtacts attributed against the petitioners 3 and 4 and on suspicion only they were arrested. The petitioners have been in judicial custody since 19.02.2026. Further material part of investigation has been completed and the petitioners would abide by the conditions that may be imposed in the event of their release on bail. Therefore, he prayed for enlarging the petitioners on bail.
4)The learned Special Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and inter-alia would contend that the petitioner No. 1 to 3 and deceased No. 1 and 2 are closed relatives and there were land disputes among them for long time. Keeping the same in mind the petitioners 1 to 3 conspired with the Accused Nos.4 and 5 and committed murder of Deceased
Nos.1 and 2 in a gruesome manner. The Petitioner No.2 displayed the decapitated head of the Deceased No.2 publicly in the village, causing extreme terror in the village. In such a situation, if the petitioners are enlarged on bail there is every possibility of the petitioners fleeing away from justice and also there are chances of tampering the evidence of prosecution witnesses. He further argued that taking the gravity of the offence, the terror and fear that was caused due to the offence in the village and also in the society, the petitioners do deserve for grant of bail.
5)Heard both parties. Perused the record.

6) Now the point for consideration is:- “Whether the Petitioners / Accused No.1 to 4 are entitled for bail as prayed for?”
7) P O I N T:- As can be seen from the record, it is evident that on the report of VRA of Tarimala Village on 03.02.2026 the Sub-Inspector of
Police, Singanamala P.S registered a case in Cr.No.11/2026 for the offences punishable under Section 103 (1) r/w.3 (5) of BNS against the Petitioner
Nos.1 and 2 initially. The report of VRA disclosed that the Deceased Nos.1 and 2 were found murdered and the head of the Deceased No.2 was decapitated. Then taking the gravity of the offence into account, the Inspector of Police, Singanamala Circle took up the investigation and examined the witnesses and also conducted the Inquest over the dead bodies of Deceased
Nos.1 and 2. On 18.02.2026 he arrested the petitioners and the Accused
No.5 under two separate arrest and seizure panchanamas and recorded their confessional statements. Then on observing the procedural formalities, he forwarded the petitioners to Hon’ble Special Judicial First Class Magistrate (Proh. & Excise), Anathapuramu for judicial remand. On considering the material placed before her, the Hon’ble the Special Judicial First Class
Magistrate (Proh. & Excise), Anathapuramu remanded the petitioners to the
judicial custody on 19.02.2026.
8)The material collected during the investigation provide that one
Dandora Nallappa resident of S.C Colony, Tarimela Village of Singanamala
Mandal has two wives namely., Dandora Lakshmi Devi (Accused No.3) and
Dandora Yellamma (Deceased/2nd wife). Through his first wife he has two sons i.e., Accused Nos.1 and 2 and through his second wife, he has two sons i.e., Deceased No.1/Dandora Ambedkar @ Chinna and another. After the death of Nallappa, there arose differences between two widows and their sons with regard to agricultural land and house property left by the deceased
Nallappa. In that connection, the Petitioner Nos.1 and 2 conspired with the 5
Accused Nos.4 and 5 and on 02.02.2026 at about 10:30 PM in pursuance of their plan came to the house of the deceased in a white
Swift Desire Car and attacked the Deceased No.1 with a sickle and caused his death. When Deceased No.2 i.e., Dandora Yellamma tried to save herself by hiding, the Accused Nos.1 and 2 followed her and hacked her to death and also decapitated her head. The investigation reveals gruesome act that the
Petitioner No.2 took the decapitated head of the Deceased No.2 and displayed the same in the streets of the village, causing terror among the villagers, then all the petitioners went away in the same car.
9) The material collected during investigation reveal that the acts committed by the petitioners are of extreme diabolic and in gruesome manner, causing terror and asserting authority of the Accused. The display of decapitated head in the village is premeditated act of the extreme violence to inflict the maximum terror and assert the authority. Under such circumstances, if the petitioners are enlarged on bail, there is every possibility of tampering the evidence of prosecution witnesses. The witnesses may not come forward to disclose the facts acquainted by them with regard to incident due to fear of the petitioners. Further as the incident has caused severe terror and fear among the public in the village and the society, this court is opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the petitioners on bail.
10) As per material on record, the investigation is still pending and the police yet to file charge sheet. In view of the observations recorded to supra, it is not fit case to enlarge the petitioners on bail. As such this application is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this point is answered in favour of the prosecution and against the Petitioners.
11) In the result, this petition is dismissed.
Dictated to the Stenographer Gr.III, transcribed by him, corrected
and pronounced by me in open Court, on this the 16 th day of May, 2026.
