Kotwali, District Baran, At Present House No. 496, Swami Vivekanand Nagar, P.S. R.K. Puram, Kota City (Raj.). (Accused At Present Confined In Central Jail Kota). ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through Pp ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Mritunjay Sharma for Mr. Samarth Sharma For Respondent(s) For Complainant(s) : : Mr. N.S. Dhakar, PP Mr. Neeraj Batra, Govt. Adv. Mr. Ravinder Pal Singh HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN Order 09/01/2025 1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 BNSS on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.202/2022 registered at Police Station Gumanpura, District Kota City (Raj.) for the offences punishable under Sections 420 & 406 of IPC. Later on, police filed charge- sheet in this matter for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B of IPC and under Sections 3, 4, 5, & 6 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that on the basis of vague allegations, arrest of the petitioner has been made. [2025:RJ-JP:1278] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-68/2025] Counsel further submits that alleged offences are triable by magistrate. Counsel submits that several other cases have been registered against the petitioner and he has been arrested in connection thereof, by the investigating agency. Actually, he is in custody since May, 2022. However, in this case, formal arrest of the petitioner has been made 16.05.2024. Counsel submits that in some other cases he has been granted benefit of bail and in one case, benefit of bail has been granted by the Hon’ble Apex Court. Counsel further submits that charge-sheet has been filed and trial will take considerable time. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor as well as counsel for the complainant vehemently opposes the submissions made by counsel for the petitioner. They submit that petitioner is the main accused and several other cases have been registered against him. Thus, bail should not be granted to him. 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, as also the fact that alleged offences are triable by the Magistrate; charge-sheet has been filed in this matter; period of custody, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it fit and proper to allow this bail application. 6. This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner Murli Manohar S/o Shri Badrilal shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum [2025:RJ-JP:1278] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-68/2025] 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. 7. It is made clear that the accused petitioner shall not involve in any other similar offence during currency of the bail. After being released from prison, he shall mark his presence in first week of every month in the concerned police station. 8. If any breach of these conditions is reported or come to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the trial court to cancel the bail granted to him by this Court. 9. The SHO concerned is directed to maintain a register recording attendance of the accused, as mentioned above. In case, the petitioner fails to mark his attendance as mentioned above, the SHO shall intimate the trial court immediately. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J LALIT MOHAN /123
