THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE K.SURENDER
CRIMINAL PETITION NO.7771 OF 2022
ORDER:
1. This Criminal Petition is filed under Sections 437 and 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short "Cr.P.C") seeking regular bail to the petitioners/A1 & A3 in Crime No.246 of 2012 on the file of Pet Basheerbad Police Station, Cyberabad, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 379 read with 120(b) of Indian Penal Code.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for the respondent-State and perused the record.
3. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are seeking bail on the ground that the investigation is almost complete and the petitioners were arrested on the ground of jumping bail. Since the trial is almost concluded and the petitioners are in jail since April- 2021, these petitioners can be granted the bail subject to stringent conditions. He also relied upon the Judgment rendered by the High Court of Madhya Pradesh in Raja @ Ranu v. The State of Madhya Pradesh in CRA.4310-2020, 2 dt.04.11.2020, wherein though the petitioner had jumped the bail was granted the relief of bail.
4. The present S.C.28/2014 is of the year 2014 and the crime is committed in February, 2013. Since the petitioners had jumped bail, the proceedings could not take place and it is almost 9 years since the crime was committed.
5. In the said circumstances, I deem it appropriate to direct the Sessions Court to complete the process of trial, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to say that the petitioner is at liberty to move the application seeking bail there after.
6. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed off.
Miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed.
