The brief facts of the case are that on 09.12.2024, at 3:00 PM, a complaint was filed by de facto complainant stating that on the previous evening, she found her villager Pashula Yadagiri sleeping in front of her house. When she asked him to leave, he quarreled with her, used abusive language, and physically assaulted her, causing a bleeding injury. He also took away her phone, tied her hands and legs, and attempted to rape her. Her relatives, Anjamma and Chennamma, intervened, and Yadagiri attacked them as well, causing injuries. After receiving treatment, Pushpavathi requested the police to take necessary legal action against Yadagiri for criminal trespass, assault, and attempted rape.

SKS,J Crl.P.No.1906 of 2025

Heard Sri K. Venumadhav, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner as well as Sri Syed Yasar Manoon, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was arrested on 07.01.2025, and the investigation is complete, with 11 witnesses examined and a charge sheet filed. The petitioner claims that the complaint is false and baseless, driven by a personal grudge, and requests bail, citing that he is willing to cooperate with the trial, appear in court, and provide sureties. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to the petitioners by allowing this Criminal Petition.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner stating that the investigation is not yet completed, therefore, granting bail to the petitioner, at this stage, does not arise. Hence, he prayed the Court to dismiss the criminal petition.

In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and a perusal of the material available on
