Order 23/01/2026
1. This second bail application under Section 483 of BNSS has been filed on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.19/2025 registered at Police Station Cyber Police Station, Commissionerate Jaipur, District-Dy. Commissioner Police (Crime), Commissionerate, Jaipur for offences punishable under Sections 318(4) & 61(2)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, (in short ‘BNS’) 2023 and Sections 3, 4, 5 & 6 of Rajasthan Public Examination (Use of Unfair Means) Act, 1992. After completion of investigation, police filed charge-sheet in this matter for offences punishable under Sections 318(4), 61(2)(b), 316(5) & 238(c) of BNS 2023, Sections 43, 66 & 66C of Information Technology Act
[2026:RJ-JP:3208] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-1211/2026] and Sections 3, 4, 5 & 6 of Rajasthan Public Examination (Use of Unfair Means) Act, 1992.
2. The first bail application filed on behalf of the petitioner was dismissed by this court vide order dated 29.07.2025. Now, this second bail application has been preferred on behalf of the petitioner.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that petitioner is facing Magistrate trial and it is obligatory for the learned trial Court to conclude the trial within a period of 60 days from the first date fixed for recording prosecution evidence. Counsel submits that said provisions are mandatory in nature and bail can only be refused on the basis of reasonable grounds. Counsel submits that no such grounds are available on record in this case. Counsel submits that delay cannot be attributed to the petitioner as it is evident from the order-sheet that proceedings were deferred on number of occasions and for different reasons. Counsel submits that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner and there is bleak chance of culmination of trial in near future. Petitioner is in custody since 31.01.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application.
5. I have considered the contentions.
6. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties as well as material made available on record in the form of charge-sheet, especially the fact that alleged
[2026:RJ-JP:3208] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-1211/2026] offences are triable by Magistrate, so also considering the fact that petitioner is in custody since 31.01.2025 and there is bleak chance of culmination of trial in near future, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it fit and proper to allow this second bail application.
7. This second bail application is accordingly allowed and it is
directed that accused-petitioner- Deepak Singh Shekhawat S/o Lt. Shri Laxman Singh Shekhwat shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty 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.
8. It is made clear that petitioner shall co-operate with the learned trial Court in conclusion of the trial at earliest.
9. Prosecution would be at liberty to seek cancellation of bail if delaying tactics are adopted by the petitioner during the course of trial.
10. The observation made hereinabove is only for decision of the bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner.
