THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL REVISION CASE NO.2072 OF 2009 ORDER: This Criminal Revision Case under Sections 397 and 401 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner-A2 against the order of the learned VII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, in Crl.M.P.No.4340 of 2009 in P.R.C.No.43 of 2009 in Cr.No.261 of 2008 of Saidabad Police Station. 2. Heard. 3. The petitioner-accused is facing trial for the offence under Sections 366(A), 342, 324 IPC. He filed a petition for return of passport. Learned Magistrate dismissed the petition holding that the petitioner is a citizen of UAE and in case, his passport is released and he is allowed to leave the country, he may not be available for trial. 4. Now, the learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is in dire need of visiting UAE on account of his employment and also all his family members are living there and he would come back within three months. 5. Considering all the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the passport of the petitioner can be returned and he can be allowed to leave India by taking proper security for his return to India to face the trial. In the circumstances, it is directed that the petitioner shall deposit an amount of Rs.5,00,000/-(Rupees five lakhs only) before the learned VII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, within ten days from today, and on such deposit, the passport of the petitioner shall be returned to him and he is permitted to leave India. In case, the petitioner fails to come back to India, within three months from today, the above amount, which shall be kept in Fixed Deposit, shall be forfeited and paid to the second respondent – de facto complainant – Miss Zareena. The petitioner shall be liable for other available actions under law apart from forfeiture of the above amount. 6. In case the necessity of returning the amount to the de facto complainant, Miss Zareena arises, the learned Magistrate has to take proper care with regard to the identity of the de facto complainant and deposit of the said amount into her bank account only by imposing appropriate restrictions for withdrawal of amount, such as, permitting her to withdraw the same in instalments. 7. The criminal revision petition is accordingly ordered. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 15th March 2010, Note: Copy within two days. B/o. Rns.
