SCR,J
W.P.No.16948 of 2026at Manoranjan Complex, as being illegal, contrary to law, violative of Articles 21
of the Constitution of India and pass such other order or orders as this Court may
deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case.”
2. Heard Mr.G.Eshwaraiah, learned Counsel for the petitioner
and Mr.Mahesh Raje, learned Government Pleader for Home
representing respondent Nos.1 to 3 and Mr.Mohd. Abdul Mateen
Qureshi, representing learned Deputy Solicitor General of India
Mr.J.Bhujanga Rao for Central Government for respondent No.4.
Perused the record.
3. The brief facts of the case are that, Smt. Patnala Shilpa, wife
of the petitioner, who is arrayed as respondent No.5 in the present
writ petition, lodged a complaint in Cr.No.709 of 2018 on the file of
the Women Police Station, CCS, Hyderabad, which was registered for
the offences under Sections 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and
Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, which is culminated into
C.C.No.2264 of 2019 on the file of learned XIII Additional Chief
Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, and the petitioner is arrayed as
accused No.1 in the said case.
4. It is the case of the petitioner that a Look Out Circular (LOC) was
issued due to issuance of Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) passed by the
3
SCR,J
W.P.No.16948 of 2026
XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad and the said
LOC was issued without following due process of law, besides violative
of Article 21 of the Constitution of India.
5. The main grievance of the petitioner is that, his father expired on
26.05.2026 and previously also, the petitioner tried to come to India to
see his ailing father, but due to several factors and LOC issued, he could
not visit India. Further, to perform last rites of his father, he intends to
come to India and reaching India tomorrow morning i.e., on 28.05.2026
at Hyderabad.
6. Learned Government Pleader for Home contended that the
petitioner has not been appearing before the competent Criminal Court
from 2019 and previously also warrant issued against him, which was
recalled and subsequently, the trial Court directed him to appear before
the Court, but he has not appeared, therefore, Non Bailable Warrants are
issued by the learned XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate,
Hyderabad.
7. However, in the facts and circumstances of the case, since the
father of the petitioner expired and it is the primary responsibility of
every son to perform last rites of his father. In that view of the matter,
learned Government Pleader for Home Mr.Mahesh Raje for respondent
4
SCR,J
W.P.No.16948 of 2026
Nos.1 to 3 along with Mr.Mohd. Abdul Mateen Qureshi, learned
Standing Counsel for respondent No.4 fairly concedes and submits that
in these circumstances of the case, the petitioner may be allowed to
come to India to perform last rite of his father by imposing certain
conditions for his appearance before the trial Court and also to co-
operate with the trial.
8. In these circumstances stated, the LOC issued against the
petitioner in respect of C.C.No.2264 of 2019 of the file of learned XIII
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, is hereby
suspended for a period of 12 days from today, subject to the petitioner
depositing original Passport before the Women Police Station,
Basheerbagh on the date of his arrival in person or through his next
friend, respondent No.3 shall receive the original Passport and issue
endorsement of receipt of the same and transmit the said original
Passport to the concerned Court, failing to deposit the Passport, the LOC
can be given effect to.
9. After completion of last rites of his father, the petitioner is
directed to approach the XIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate,
Hyderabad, for filing an application under Section 70(2) Cr.P.C, for
recall of warrant pending against him in the said Calendar Case, and also
5

W.P.No.16948 of 2026
seek for appropriate direction for return of his Passport along with
application to travel back to USA if he intends to do so. The said
application shall be dealt with by the learned Magistrate on merits
strictly in accordance with law, ensuring the presence of the petitioner in
the said case.
