Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 1138/2025 Dhanprakash S/o Shri Purushottam Swaroop, R/o Bijli Office Ke Samne, Jawahar Colony, Mangrole, P.s. Mangrole, District Baran, At Present Senior Assistant, Additional Charge Accounts Officer, Nagar Polika, Mangrole, District Baran (Raj.). (At Present Confined In Central Jail Kota). ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through PP ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Samarth Sharma For Respondent(s) : Ms. Arti Sharma, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN Order 05/02/2025 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.6/2025 registered at Police Station C.P.S. Jaipur, District ACB District (Raj.) for the offence punishable under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. Investigation is being conducted for the offence punishable under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that false recovery of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand Rupees) of bribe amount has been shown from the petitioner. Counsel submits that there is no evidence available on record which shows that petitioner demanded the bribe from the complainant. Counsel submits that no work of the complainant is pending with the petitioner. Counsel submits that there are no criminal antecedents of the petitioner. [2025:RJ-JP:4993] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-1138/2025] Petitioner is in custody since 09.01.2025 and trial of the case will take considerable time. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by counsel for the petitioner. She submits that petitioner has already been suspended from service. 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; especially the period of custody; absence of criminal antecedents, 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 Dhanprakash S/o Shri Purushottam Swaroop 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 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. 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 /205
