ORDER:
“The petitioner seeks for grant of anticipatory bail. He allegedly committed offences under Section 376 IPC. The petitioner claims that he is a supporter of YSRCP party and seeks his presence in the forthcoming elections. The investigation is still in progress. However, in view of the claim of the petitioner that he is a supporter of a political party and the elections will take place on 7.5.2014, I consider it appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on bail. However, in view of the nature of the offences alleged against the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail on terms only.
Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is allowed. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajam, within two weeks from today. On such surrender, the learned Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Rajam, shall enlarge the petitioner on bail on a personal bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties in a likesum to his satisfaction.
After his release, the petitioner shall appear on every day between 9.00 AM and 6.00 PM before the SHO, Santhakaviti Police Station, Srikakulam District till 31.5.2014.”
