State of Rajasthan (order dated 24.02.2025) and Ashok Kumar Vs. State of Rajasthan (order dated 20.12.2024) passed by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court. Also considered judgment in case of Girdhari Ram Vs. State of Rajasthan : SLP (Criminal) No.7461/2025 (Order dated 23.06.2025) and Suresh Sahu Vs.

(2025 INSC 341). 5. On basis of a complaint that present petitioner accused has not appeared in PTI Direct Recruitment Examination 2022 rather appeared through a dummy candidate, a case was registered and investigated by SOG. In application form, the petitioner accused has mentioned that BPED course was conducted from OPJS University, Churu whereas at the time of selection mark-sheet of Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences, Sinor (MP) is submitted. After investigation, SOG has found that this petitioner has not appeared as a candidate rather he appeared through a dummy candidate and also procured fake degree. 6. A Co-ordinate Bench has granted bail to several persons. Similarly Hon’ble Supreme Court has also granted bail to Girdari Ram and Suresh Sahu and Ors. Hon’ble Supreme Court while allowing SLP filed by State of Rajasthan against order dated 08.05.2024 in bail application No.3348/2024 & 4789/2024, considering judgment in case of Ajwar vs. [2025:RJ-JP:30713] (4 of 4) [CRLMB-1609/2025] Waseem and Anr. : (2024) 10 SCC 768 has set aside the bail orders passed by this Court. 7. We have gone through the material available on record and after considering the material, the petitioner is found involved on two counts, firstly appearing in competitive examination through dummy candidate and secondly procuring a fake degree/certificate, therefore, there is gravity in charge, hence, the petitioner is not entitled to be released on bail. 8. In view of discussion made hereinabove, the bail application filed by Bharmal Ram S/o Naringa Ram is hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J MR/41
