JUSTICE PRAMIL KUMAR MATHUR Order 17/07/2026 1. This criminal appeal under Section 14A(2) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (hereinafter to be referred as 'the SC/ST Act’) has been filed on behalf of the appellant being aggrieved with the order dated 07.07.2026 passed by the learned Special Judge, S.C./S.T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Sikar (hereinafter to be referred as ‘trial court’) in FIR No.149/2026 registered at Police Station Reengus, District Sikar for the offence under Sections 318(4), 316(2) and 61(2) of BNS, 2023, whereby the trial court has dismissed the bail application filed on behalf of the appellant. [2026:RJ-JP:27442] (2 of 3) [CRLAS-1585/2026] 2. Heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned Public Prosecutor as well as counsel for the complainant and perused the material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. Though there is an allegation in the FIR that the appellant entered into an agreement with the complainant for the construction of a house and received an advance amount, the construction was neither commenced nor was the advance amount refunded. The allegations, at their face value, disclose a dispute which is prima facie civil in nature, arising out of an alleged breach of contractual obligations. It is further submitted that the appellant has been in custody since 28.06.2026 without any criminal past. Therefore, it is prayed that the appeal presented by the present appellant may be allowed and he may be enlarged on bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the appeal. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellant under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act. 6. Accordingly, this criminal appeal filed under Section 14-A(2) of SC/ST Act is allowed and order dated 07.07.2026 passed by the learned trial court is set aside. It is directed that appellant-Vipin Rao S/o Ashok, shall be released on bail provided he shall execute a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of [2026:RJ-JP:27442] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-1585/2026] learned trial court for his appearance before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
