JUSTICE PRAMIL KUMAR MATHUR Order 19/01/2026 1. The petitioner has preferred this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.20/2024 registered at P.S. Special Police Station (SOG), District ATS & SOG for offences under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of IPC, 1860 and Sections 3, 4 and 6 of the Rajasthan Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 1992. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the petitioner allegedly allowed a proxy candidate in place of him, to appear in the examinations conducted by the Staff Selection Board, Rajasthan, for LDC Grade II/Junior Assistant Recruitment, 2018. He again submits that main conspirator Deepak Kumar [2026:RJ-JP:2215] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-15982/2025] Meena has been enlarged on bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 13.11.2025. Charge-sheet has already been filed. Petitioner is behind the bars since 04.02.2025. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody and on the ground of parity, the bail application of the petitioner may 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 the light of submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner 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 application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is directed that the petitioner Mahesh Kumar Meena S/o Shri Tikaram Meena, be released on bail provided he 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 the learned trial court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing till conclusion of the trial.
