It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant that appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that name of the appellant is not appearing in the FIR and only, it has been mentioned that complainant’s father received threat from co-accused Ashok Dagar. Learned counsel submits that it appears from the statement of complainant and his father, who is injured in this case, that appellant was well known to his father. Despite this, his name was not mentioned in the FIR. Learned counsel argues that as per injury report, all injuries have been opined as simple in nature, except one grievous injury which was caused by blunt weapon. It is argued that appellant has no criminal antecedents and he is in custody since 11.10.2024. Charge-sheet has been filed and trial of the case will take considerable time. Further custody of the appellant would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor oppose the prayer of 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 appellant as also considering the fact that appellant has no criminal antecedents; charge-sheet has been filed as well as looking to the 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. [2025:RJ-JP:6201] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-180/2025] 6. Consequently, this instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 09.01.2025 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Jaipur District Jaipur is set aside. It is ordered that the accused-appellant Abhishek Yadav S/o Shri Gopal Yadav, arrested in connection with aforesaid FIR No. 357/2024 registered at Police Station Chandwaji, District Jaipur Rural, 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.
