THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY CRL.P.No. 5949 OF 2009 ORDER The petitioner apprehends arrest in Crime No.164 of 2008 of Central Crime Station, Hyderabad registered for the offence under Section 420 I.P.C. and Section 5 of A.P.P.D.F.E. Act. The accusation made against the petitioner is that he along with other accused recruited the defacto complainant and others as employees of 5+M Tech Heads and collected Rs. 1,00,000/- as security deposit from them and subsequently he neither returned the deposit amounts nor paid salary to them. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the Respondent/State. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that A-1 and A-3 arrested and they are released on bail and therefore, the petitioner deserve to be admitted to anticipatory bail. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the application. A-1 is the son of the petitioner and A-3 is his wife. A-1 to A-3 seem to have constituted a company in the name and style 5+M Tech Heads and recruited personnel to work in the company and collected Rs. 1,00,000/- from each individual. Subsequently, they neither paid the salary nor returned the deposit amounts to the employees. The name of the petitioner finds place in the report presented by C. Madhusudhan Reddy and others which formed the basis for registering a case in crime No. 164 of 2008. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. However, the petitioner is at liberty to surrender himself before the XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad and move bail application, in which event learned Magistrate may consider the application as expeditiously as possible preferably on the same day, in view of the fact that A-1 and A-3 being on bail. _______________________________ Justice B.
