For Respondent(s) : Mr. Rishi Raj Singh Rathore, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN (V. J.)
Order 26/06/2025
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.101/2020 registered at Police Station Gumanpura, District Kota City for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406 and 120B of IPC. Later on, Police filed charge- sheet in this matter.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case.
Learned counsel submits that main accused of this case is Nitesh Sahu and he has been granted benefit of bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court. He argues that alleged offences are triable by Magistrate and maximum sentence for the alleged offence is seven years. He further argues that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. He contends that the petitioner is in custody since 24.05.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose.

3. 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 the fact that alleged offences are triable by magistrate, material made available on record in the form of charge-sheet as also looking to the fact that main accused of this case namely- Nitesh Sahu has already been granted benefit of bail by co-ordinate bench of this Court, there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion as well as 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 - Ashok Sharma S/o Sh. Shankar Lal 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 which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
