It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant that appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that cross cases have been registered between the parties. Learned counsel submits that allegation of causing injury on the person of injured is against Narendra Singh who is real brother of the appellant. It is argued that there are no criminal antecedents against the appellant and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. It is argued that appellant is in custody since 08.07.2025 and further custody of the appellant would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor assisted by learned counsel for the complainant vehemently oppose the prayer for bail made in this appeal. 4. Heard. Perused the material available on record. 5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, especially considering the fact that cross cases have been registered between the parties, as also considering the fact that allegation of causing injury on the person of injured is against Narendra Singh who is real brother of the appellant, there are no criminal antecedents against the appellant and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion as well as looking to the [2025:RJ-JP:32601] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-2016/2025] custody period, but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of this case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the appellant on bail. 6. Consequently, this instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 14.07.2025 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Baran is set aside. It is ordered that the accused-appellant Mahendra Singh Son Of Gopal Singh Alias Kishan Gopal Singh, arrested in connection with aforesaid FIR No. 194/2025 registered at Police Station Anta, District Baran shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he shall furnish a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. 7.
