[2026:RJ-JP:27913] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-9148/2026]
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case. The allegations levelled against the present petitioners are that with the intention of selling fake gold and silver coins, they induced the complainant-Prakash, to part with a sum of ₹95,00,000/-, thereby committing the offences of cheating. It is further submitted that no fake coins have been recovered from their conscious possession. Petitioners are behind the since 20.03.2026 though two cases have been reported against petitioner- Harish Bhai, however, in both cases he is already on bail. The matter is exclusively triable by the Magistrate. Charge-sheet has already been filed. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioners in further custody, consequently, the bail application deserves to be allowed.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application.
5. On consideration of the rival submissions and material available on record and in light of submission made by learned counsel for the petitioners but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, I am inclined to grant benefit of bail to the petitioner.
6. Consequently, the bail applications under Section 483 B.N.S.S. are allowed and it is directed that the petitioners Harish Bhai S/o Prema Bhai, Smt. Teju Rathore W/o Gangaram and Smt. Shanti Ben W/o Dinesh Bhai be released on bail provided each of them furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of
[2026:RJ-JP:27913] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-9148/2026] the learned trial court with the stipulation that each of them shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing till conclusion of the trial.
