[2025:RJ-JP:26808] (2 of 3) [CRLAS-933/2025]
2. Heard learned counsel for the appellant as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. 3. No one appears for the complainant despite service. 4. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the allegation against the present appellant is that he has induced the victim by making promise to marry her and taken her ornaments and cash amount and inspite of demanding return for the same, he has not returned the said articles. Appellant is behind the bars since 20.03.2025. Charge-sheet has been filed and the case is triable by Magistrate. The trial of the case may take considerable time, hence the appeal of the appellant may be allowed. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail appeal and submitted that 13 criminal cases are pending against the appellant, therefore, in view of the criminal background appellant is not entitled for bail. 6.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellant under Section 14- A(2) of SC/ST Act. 7. Accordingly, this criminal appeal filed under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act is allowed and order dated 04.04.2025 passed by the learned trial court is set aside. It is directed that appellant-Sagar Mal Swami S/o Shree Nandlal Swami shall be released on bail provided he executes a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that
[2025:RJ-JP:26808] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-933/2025] court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial. 7. It is also made clear that in the event the appellant is found to be indulge in any type of offence in the future then State shall be at liberty to move an appeal for cancellation of bail.
