For Respondent(s) : Mr. Vijay Singh Yadav, PP with Mr. Shubham Sain, AAAG HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE PRAVEER BHATNAGAR Order 08/04/2026 1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 BNSS on behalf of accused-petitioner. The accused-petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No.236/2025, registered at Police Station Bagru, District Jaipur (West), for the offence(s) under Sections 303(2) of BNS. 2. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that there is no substantive evidence available on record indicating that the accused-petitioner has committed the offence of theft as no recovery of any almonds allegedly stolen was effected from the possession of the petitioner or from his instance. The other similarly placed co-accused have already been enlarged on bail by the Co-ordinate Benches. It is further contended that the accused-petitioner is in custody since long, [2026:RJ-JP:14571] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-3404/2026] charge-sheet has already been submitted and trial of the case may take considerable time, therefore, the bail application of the accused-petitioner may be allowed. 3. The learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application. 4. Heard and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and the fact that the other similarly placed co- accused have already been enlarged on bail, therefore, without expressing anything on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail. 6. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 483 BNSS is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner- Rakesh Meena S/o Arjun Lal Meena, in connection with FIR No.236/2025, registered at Police Station Bagru, District Jaipur (West), shall be enlarged on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for his appearance before the court concerned on all the dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. The learned trial Judge shall also verify the address and the contact details of the surety through concerned S.H.O. before releasing the accused-petitioner on bail. 7. The accused-petitioner is also directed to mark his presence on 25th of every month before the concerned Police Station till conclusion of the trial. The SHO of the concerned Police Station is directed to maintain a regular register marking the presence of the accused-petitioner and shall send the presence report of the [2026:RJ-JP:14571] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-3404/2026] accused-petitioner on the same day to the concerned trial Court every month without any delay. In case of any breach of the aforementioned conditions, the learned Public Prosecutor shall be free to move the application against the accused-petitioner for cancellation of the bail before the concerned Court. 8. The accused-petitioner is directed to submit his present address along with his mobile number to the concerned S.H.O. within 7 days from his release and the concerned S.H.O. shall verify the said address and the mobile number. In case if the petitioner changes his address or mobile number he shall submit the same before the concerned S.H.O. and also before the concerned learned trial Court. 9. A copy of this order shall be sent to the concerned S.H.O. for its strict compliance. (PRAVEER BHATNAGAR),J Ashwani Kr Srivastava /-33
