JUSTICE BALJINDER SINGH SANDHU Order 17/10/2025 This bail application has been filed by the petitioner under Section 483 BNSS seeking regular bail in FIR No.551/2025 registered at Police Station Chomu, District Jaipur (West) for the offence(s) under Section(s) 318(4), 316(2) and 61(2) (b) of BNS, 2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the accused- petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel further submits that the accused-petitioner is the Manager of the Bank and that allegation against him is that he has opened the bank accounts in question. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner further submits that under the pressure of targets set by the Bank several bank accounts were opened and there was no intention to commit any fraud. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner further submits that there is no allegation of any fraud. He further submits that accused-petitioner has been [2025:RJ-JP:42707] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-12627/2025] in judicial custody since 11.09.2025 and he is not required for investigation and the conclusion of the trial will take considerable time, hence the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State has opposed the bail application stating that the accused-petitioner is involved in opening multiple accounts, which are used for cyber fraud, therefore, he should be enlarged on bail. Learned Public Prosecutor has submitted the factual report dated 15.10.2025, which is taken on record. Taking into consideration the overall facts and circumstances of the case, but without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 BNSS is allowed and it is ordered that accused-petitioner Shiva Khandal @ Sonu S/o Shri Shravan Kumar Khandal shall be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the trial Court, with the stipulation that the petitioner shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
