Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted thal the petitioners have not committed the offence and they were lalselv 4 implicated in the above crime' Even according to the allegations made in the complaint or in the Remand Case Diary the entire allegations leveled against the A-10 who is a minor' Even according to the statement of the victim, victim and A- 10 are known each otlier and felt into love. Even according to the allegations made in the Remand Case Diary in respect of the offence under Section 64 (ni) of the Act, the ingredients attract only against A- 10 The only allegation against the other accused arc that they have provided Aadhar Cards to facilitate the A-10 to provide a room in OYO Ilotel' The main accused who was arrested was already enlarged on bail in Crl.M.P.No.42 of 2025 on29'05'2021 The petitioners were atrested on 13.05.2025 ,28.04.2025,20'04'2025 and since then they were in judicial custody.

6. Per contra, leamed Additional public prosecutor submitted that peritioners have committed grave offence. All the petitioners/accused except A-9 have committed rape against the victim girl. There are specific allegations levelled in the complaint against the petitioners and also in the statement of the victim girl she specificalll, stated the role of each of the petitioner/accused. He lurthe' subnritted that there are serious allegations against the petitioners and investigation is under progress. The learned Magistrate glanted bail in favour of A-10 only on the ground that he is a juve'rile. I'aking into consideration the above said grounds, the petitioners ale nor entitled for grant of bail. At this stage, if the petitioners are granted bail, they will interfere with the investigatio, and influcnce the witnesses. Hence, prayed to dismiss these petitions. 7 . Having considered the rival submissions made by the respect.ivc prarties and after perusal of the material available on record, it reveals that there are serious allegations leveled against the petitioners that they have committed rape against the victim girl. In the Rernand C*e Diary, the investigation officer specifically mentioned the role of each of the petitioners/accused Nos.1,2,4 and 5 I 6 t that they have committed rape on the victini. The record further reveals that petitioners,/A-2, A-5 and A-9 have approached tliis Cour1, filed Cr1.P.No.6628 of 2025 seeking for grant of bail and the learned counsel for the petitioners therein aftel arguing the matter for some time sought permission of this Court to v.,ithdraw the criminal petition. Accordingly, Criminal Petition No.6628 of 2025 is dismissed on 11.06.2025. The petitioners have filed the present criminal petitions seeking for grant of bail on the very same grounds, which are pleaded in the earlier bail applications.

8. Insofar as the contention of the leanied counsel for the petitioners that accused No.10 was enlarged on bail and the petitioners ale also entitled for grant of bail is concenred, accused No.l0 is only a juvenile. Taking into consideration the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act, he was granted bail and therefore, on the said ground, the petitioners are not entitled for grant of bail, especially when the investigation is under progress and the charge sheet has not been filed. 7

9. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the gravity of the offence, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. I I l I0. Accordingly, these Criminal petitions are dismissed. Miscellaneous applications, pending if any, shall stand closed. //TRUE COPY// ITALLIKARJUNA RAO ftrerur REGIsTRAR SECTION OFFICER To,
