Bowenpally clash case sees major relief from High Court
The matter came up for hearing on April 17 and April 20, during which extensive arguments were advanced on behalf of the accused. After hearing submissions from both sides, the Hon’ble High Court granted anticipatory bail to all 20 accused persons.
Initially, the Court imposed a surety condition of Rs. 30,000 with two sureties of Rs. 15,000 each. However, the accused belonged to economically weaker sections and were living below the poverty line, making the surety amount difficult to arrange.
Considering the financial hardship faced by the accused families, Advocate Barkat Ali Khan filed relaxation petitions before the Hon’ble High Court. He later convinced the Court to reduce the surety amount from Rs. 15,000 each to Rs. 5,000 each.
Following the Court’s order, all 20 accused secured anticipatory bail despite facing grave allegations in the FIR. The families of the accused expressed gratitude to Advocates Barkat Ali Khan and Mohammed Azhar for their legal representation and efforts before the Court.
