1. Heard learned counsel for the applicants as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and also perused the record. 2. The present transit anticipatory bail application has been moved on behalf of the applicants in Case Crime No. 0272/2025, under Sections 316(2), 318(4), and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station – Jyoti Nagar, District – Jaipur City (South), seeking enlargement on transit anticipatory bail. 3. Upon an objection raised by the learned A.G.A., learned counsel for the applicants submitted that he does not wish to press the anticipatory bail application insofar as applicant no. 2, Shobhit, is concerned. 4. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application, qua applicant no. 2 Shobhit , stands dismissed as not pressed. 5. As regards applicant no. 1, Pranshu Soni, it has been submitted that the dispute primarily arises out of a business transaction. Applicant no. 1 has no prior criminal history, and the offences alleged are triable by a Magistrate. It is further contended that the offences of cheating and criminal breach of trust cannot coexist, as held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Delhi Race Club (1940) Ltd. v. State of U.P., (2024) 10 SCC 690. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Shivendra S Singh Rathore, Bhavesh Chandel, Mohammad Sufiyan, Piyush Raj Verma, Sachin Upadhyay Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Pranshu Soni And Another .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. U.P. And 4 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
6. It is also submitted that applicant no. 1 apprehends arrest in connection with the aforesaid case registered at Police Station – Jyoti Nagar, District – Jaipur City (South), and the police are making efforts to arrest him. Hence, it has been prayed that he be granted transit anticipatory bail. 7. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail but could not dispute the factual submissions made on behalf of applicant no. 1, particularly regarding his clean antecedents. 8. Upon due consideration of the submissions advanced by both sides, this Court finds it to be a fit case for grant of transit anticipatory bail to applicant no. 1. 9. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of arrest of applicant no.
1 Pranshu Soni in connection with Case Crime No. 0272/2025, under Sections 316(2), 318(4), and 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Police Station – Jyoti Nagar, District – Jaipur City (South), he shall be released on transit anticipatory bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer or court concerned. (i) The aforesaid protection shall remain in force for a period of four weeks from the date of this order, to enable applicant no. 1 to approach the competent court within the State of Rajasthan for appropriate relief. 10. The transit anticipatory bail application is, accordingly, allowed. October 17, 2025 R.C.
