4. Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that the money amounting Rs.10,50,000/- has been recovered at the instance of the co-accused on an information given under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act. Therefore, the accused-petitioner does not deserve indulgence of bail by this Court.
5. Considered the submissions made at bar and also perused the challan papers.
6. The co-accused, namely, Padam Kumar Gurjar has already been enlarged on bail. As per the submissions of learned Public Prosecutor that the money amounting Rs.10,50,000/- is said to be recovered at the present accused-petitioner from the house of one Chhaganlal @ Ganesh Gurjar. However, in the statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., Chhaganlal @ Ganesh Gurjar has stated that the aforesaid amount was kept at his residence by one Rajendra S/o Sukhaji. As per challan, no recovery of any amount has been made at the instance of the petitioner.
7. Taking into consideration the totality of facts and circumstances of the case and so also the fact that the co- accuseds has already been enlarged on bail, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, deems just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail.
8. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 483 of the B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner
[2025:RJ-JP:913] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-16117/2024] named above in connection with the aforesaid FIR shall be enlarged on bail provided, he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for his appearance before the Court concerned on all the dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
