Order 10/08/2026
1. The applicant has filed the present bail application under Section 483 of BNSS being aggrieved against the order dated 04.06.2026 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Pali, Rajasthan in Criminal Miscellaneous Case No.454/2026, whereby the bail application filed by the accused-applicant under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. was rejected. The accused-applicant is behind the bars, pursuant to the F.I.R. No.68/2026 registered at Police Station, Transport Nagar(Pali), District Pali for the offences punishable under Sections 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2) and 329(3) of BNS.
2.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the offences alleged are triable by Court of Magistrate. He further submits that though the applicant has been shown to be beneficiary, however,
[2026:RJ-JP:37953] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-9555/2026] identical allegations were levelled against various persons, out of which, Ravi has already been enlarged on bail by learned Trial Court itself. He further submits that as per the information received from the legal aid, the charge-sheet has already been filed and no recovery is to be made from the applicant. He further submits that the applicant is being behind the bars since 12.05.2026 and trial of the case will take sufficiently long time to conclude. He, therefore, implores this Court to allow the present Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application and submits that considering the nature of the offences, the applicant does not deserve to be enlarged on bail.
4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.
5. Having considered the arguments advanced by both the sides and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, including the facts that the offences alleged are triable by the Court of Magistrate, the applicant does not have any criminal antecedents, the applicant is being behind the bars since 12.05.2026, no recovery is to be made from the applicant and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time to conclude, without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail.
6. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-applicant Babulal S/o Shri Sitaram arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.68/2026 registered at Police Station, Transport Nagar(Pali),
[2026:RJ-JP:37953] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-9555/2026] District Pali shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial Court, for his appearance before that Court on each & every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial.
7. It is further, made clear that the findings recorded/observations made hereinabove are for limited purposes of adjudication of bail application and the same shall not prejudice the trial of the case in any manner.
