The reasons given by the learned Magistrate runs as follows: “Accused No.1 produced through H.G.963, PC.1677 of Rayachoty P.S. along with a report that the accused No.1 was traveling to abroad without the permission of this Hon’ble Court and the permission of the Police, the police filed the certificate of register Oversees citizen of India with No.089596 issued by the Consulate General of India, Sydney bearing pass port No.6996330 issued by the Govt. of Australia, perused the record. The accused No.1 was given permission by the Hon’ble High Court in Cr.P.No.6370/2010 dispensing with the presence of the petitioner by the trial court for a period of one year from the date of order with a condition to deposit title deed worth Rs.5,00,000/-. Thereafter Accused No.1 present before this Hon’ble Court on 19-7-2011 after the expire of the period of permission. Subsequently on 26-7-2011 accused No.1 called absent, a petition filed under Section 317 Cr.P.C. in Crl.M.P NO1580/2011 stating that A1 was held up in personal work and the same is allowed. It is seen from the police report that the A1 was traveling to Abroad and the pass port authority Bengalore informed the same to the Police. Then they taken the custody of the A-1 and produced before this Court, the certificate of registration Oversees citizen of India and the pass port issued by the Govt. of Australia shows that the accused No.1 hold citizen ship oversees and lifelong visa to reside at Abroad and home there is every possibility of the accused No.1 evading the process of law and the violated the order of the Hon’ble High Court in Crl.P.6370j/2010, dated 14-7- 2010, moreover the Crl.MP.No.1580/2011 shows the conduct of the accused No.1 and hence the certification of registration oversees citizen pass port bearing No.M6996330 seized by this Court and the accused No.1 is jumped the conditions of bail and Crl.P.6370/2011 by the Hon’ble High Court perused the record, frimaface offence under Section 498-A IPC, 420, 307 of IPC and Section 3 and 4 of D.P. Act. Hence, the accused No.1 is remanded to judicial custody till 12-08-2011.” 3. Admittedly, the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail on 15-07-2009 and subsequently, the condition imposed on the petitioner was also modified on 23-07-2009. Further, this Court by its order, dated 14-07-2010, in Criminal Petition No.6370 of 2010 dispensed with the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court for a period of one year. Subsequently, the petitioner appeared before the Court and on the second occasion, he filed a petition under Section 317 Cr.P.C. The same was also allowed, but the learned Magistrate on production of the accused before the Court remanded the accused for the reasons stated by him in the order, dated 02-08-2011. 4. Admittedly, (i) the petitioner was on bail, (ii) he has not violated any condition, (iii) there is no request by the police to remand the accused; and further there is no crime number and crime against the petitioner. In the absence of anything, without knowing the procedure to be adopted, the learned Magistrate erroneously remanded the accused to judicial custody. Therefore, the order passed by the learned Magistrate is violative of provisions of the Constitution and also to the principles of Cr.P.C. 5. Hence, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of and the order, dated 02-08-2011, passed in PRC No.51 of 2009 by the learned Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rayachoty is hereby set aside. The petitioner is directed to be set at liberty forthwith, if he is not required in any other case. ______________ RAJA ELANGO, J August 05, 2011. KTL
