(At Present Confined In District Jail, Baran (Raj.) ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through PP ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Akshat Saxena For Respondent(s) : Mr. N.S.

Order 28/07/2025
1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS, on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.105/2025 registered at Police Station C.P.S. Jaipur, District ACB District for the offence punishable under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He argues that the petitioner neither demanded nor received any bribe money from the complainant. There occurred some departmental delay in payment of the pending bills of the complainant and for which, under personal vengeance, the
[2025:RJ-JP:29051] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-7332/2025] complainant has falsely entangled the petitioner. Learned counsel also argues that till date, prosecution sanction has not been accorded against the present petitioner so as to prosecute him for the alleged offence. He submits that without prosecution sanction, the petitioner cannot be prosecuted for the alleged offence. Trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. He is in custody since 29.04.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the
submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner.
4. I have considered the contentions.
5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, especially considering the fact that till date, prosecution sanction has not been issued against the petitioner so as to prosecute him for the alleged offence; trial will take considerable time in its conclusion and looking to the period of custody but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow the bail application.
6. This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner - Ajay Singh S/o Mangal Sain, shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any court to
[2025:RJ-JP:29051] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-7332/2025] which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
7. The observations made hereinabove is only for the decision of the instant bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner.
