HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA: HYDERABAD MAIN CASE NO: Crl.P.No.9108 of 2026 PROCEEDING SHEET SL. DATE ORDER OFFICE NO NOTE 02.07.2026 NTR,J Criminal Petition No. 9108 of 2026 was listed on 29.06.2026. On that day, the learned counsel for the petitioner confined the relief sought to issuance of a notice under Section 35(3) of the BNSS, contending that the alleged offences are punishable with imprisonment for a term of less than seven years. The learned Public Prosecutor also did not raise any specific objection to the said limited relief. Accordingly, the petition was disposed of. However, upon subsequent verification of the record, it was found that the crime in question was registered at Ananthapuram II Town Police Station, which falls within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of Andhra Pradesh. In view of the above, the criminal petition was directed to be relisted. When the matter was taken up today, the learned counsel for the petitioner was unable to offer any explanation. Having regard to the averments made in the petition and the lack of due diligence on the part of the learned counsel in filing the petition before this Court without verifying the relevant factual aspects, this Court is of the considered view that the oral order passed on 29.06.2026 directing issuance of a notice under Section 35(3) of the BNSS is liable to be recalled. 2 SL. DATE ORDER OFFICE NO NOTE

Accordingly, the oral order dated 29.06.2026 is recalled. Since the crime in question falls within the territorial jurisdiction of the State of Andhra Pradesh, this Court lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain the petition. Consequently, the Criminal Petition stands dismissed for want of jurisdiction. ______ NTR,J CHS
