Praneeth Rao. This is the fourth time the court has rejected the bail petitions of the accused.They had filed petitions stating that they were eligible to get default bail as the police did not file the chargesheet within the mandatory period. The court was not inclined to accept their contentions.The court agreed with public prosecutor Sambasiva Reddy, who submitted that the chargesheet was filed by the investigation team on June 10 but submitted additional documents following objections raised by the court.
