Digitally signed by RAVVA UTTEJ KUMAR RAJU 2 2. Present is a case of bail jump where earlier bail was granted to applicant by this Court on 21.01.2020 in MCRC No. 7765/2019 and he was extended benefit of regular bail. However, the present applicant did not appear before the learned trial Court when the case was at evidence stage and, therefore, non-bailable warrant was issued against him and he was sent back to jail. 3. Learned counsel for the present applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime-in-question. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 06.12.2025 and he has no criminal antecedent and further submits that the trial may take some time for its disposal and therefore, he may be extended privilege of regular bail. 4. On the other hand, counsel for the State submits that after granting regular bail by this Court, the applicant has not been attending the Court hearing from 14.03.2023 and therefore, non-bailable warrant was issued against him on 06.12.2025, as such the bail application of the applicant may be rejected. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the facts that the applicant was earlier granted benefit of bail on 21.01.2020 by this Court vide MCRC No. 7765/2019 and due to some bona fide reason he could not appear before the learned trial court, and now he is in custody since 06.12.2025, I am of the opinion that present is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita is allowed. 6. Accused/applicant is directed to be released on bail on him executing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/-, with one local solvent surety 3 in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for her appearance before the said Court as and when directed till the disposal of the trial.
