HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN
Order 23/09/2025
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.222/2025 registered at Police Station CPS Jaipur, District ACB Jaipur for the offence punishable under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018.
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 false recovery of bribe amount of Rs.5,000/- has been shown from the computer table of the petitioner. He further submits that there are no criminal
[2025:RJ-JP:39174] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-11588/2025] antecedents against the petitioner and trial of the case will take considerable time in its conclusion. He argues that the petitioner is in custody since 28.08.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor assisted by learned counsel for the complainant vehemently opposes the submissions made by the
learned counsel for the petitioner. Learned counsel for the complainant submits that transcript with regard to the demand of bribe is available on record. Thus, bail should not be granted to 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 absence of criminal antecedents and trial will take 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- Divya Prakash Chomaal S/o Chouthmal Chomaal 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
[2025:RJ-JP:39174] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-11588/2025] is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
7. The observation made hereinabove is only for decision of the instant bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner.
