[2025:RJ-JP:8019] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 15540/2024 Smt. Lalita @ Lalo W/o Shri Jitendra Singh, Aged About 40 Years, R/o Santha P.s. Achhanera , District Agra (U.p.) ( Accused Is Presently Confined In District Jail Dholpur) ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through PP ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Manoj Kumar Avasthi For Respondent(s) : Mr. N.S. Dhakar, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN Order 21/02/2025 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.225/2024 registered at Police Station Maasalpur, District Karauli (Rajasthan) for the offence punishable under Section 103(1) of BNS. Later on, police filed charge-sheet in this matter for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 3(5), 61(2)(a) & 49 of BNS and Sections 25(1AB), 9, 5, 3(1) & 27 of Arms Act. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that no cogent evidence available against the petitioner on record to connect her with the murder of her own son and daughter-in-law. Counsel submits that petitioner has been made accused solely on the basis of fact that she was in contact with other co-accused [2025:RJ-JP:8019] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-15540/2024] persons through mobile-phone against whom there is allegation that they committed the murder of the son and daughter-in-law of the petitioner. Counsel submits that the co-accused is real brother of the petitioner therefore, call details with the co-accused cannot be considered as concrete evidence against the petitioner. Counsel submits that there are no criminal antecedents of the petitioner. Petitioner is a female and in custody since 31.10.2024 and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Public opposes the submissions made by 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, as also the material available on record in the form of charge-sheet; petitioner has been charge-sheet with the aid of Section 61(2) of BNS (corresponding to Section 120B of IPC); absence of criminal antecedents of the petitioner; petitioner is a female and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion; 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 -Smt. Lalita @ Lalo W/o Shri Jitendra Singh 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 [2025:RJ-JP:8019] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-15540/2024] 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. 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. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J LALIT MOHAN /423
