Order 19/05/2025
1. The petitioner has preferred this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.0302/2023 registered at Police Station-Jobner, District-Jaipur Rural for the offences under Section 302 of IPC, Section 3/25 of the Arms Act.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the main co-accused has purchased the so-called pistol from him. In this regard, he further submits that as per the charge-sheet submitted in the concerned Court, there are two contradictory informations under Section 27 of BNSS according to which, the main accused-Suraj has given information that he has taken the pistol from his friend Manish. Thereafter, on the basis of another information given on 29.10.2023, the petitioner has stated that he has purchased
[2025:RJ-JP:20979] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-6064/2025] the pistol from Lokesh Kumawat. He further submits that except it, there is no evidence against him by which it can be inferred that the petitioner was involved in committing the murder of deceased-Shokan Kumawat. He further submits that the co- accused-Rahul Meena and Deepak Kumawat have already been enlarged on bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. Investigation in this has been completed. The petitioner is behind the Bar since 20.03.2025. The trial of the case may take considerable time, hence the bail application of the petitioner may be allowed.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application.
5. On consideration of the rival submission and material available on record and deliberating all the facts and circumstances of the case and without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, I am inclined to grant benefit of bail to the petitioner.
6. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is ordered that the petitioner-Lokesh S/o Hemraj shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court for his appearance before that Court on all the dates till conclusion of the trial.
