Heard Sri P.Gajendra Murthy, 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.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner firstly submitted that the petitioner is no way concerned with the alleged offences. He secondly submitted that though there is no corroborative

evidence, the petitioner was implicated in the case with false and fabricated allegations. He thirdly submitted that all the material witnesses were examined, and further detention of the petitioner is unnecessary. He fourthly submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 09.12.2024, causing undue hardship to his family and that the allegations are false and fabricated. He fifthly submitted that the petitioner is resident of Yousufguda, Hyderabad, with movable and immovable properties, and is willing to furnish sureties as directed.
