Order 20/04/2026
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. 130/2023 registered at Police Station Mehandipur Balaji District Dausa for the offences under Section 379 of IPC.
2.
Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that petitioner has deposited the amount imposed by learned trial court for the proceedings initiated under Section 446 Cr.P.C. Other similarly placed co-accused Jitendra has already been enlarged on bail by the trial court vide order dated
23.03.2026. The accused-petitioner is in custody since 11.03.2026 and the trial of the case may take considerable time, therefore, the bail application of the accused-petitioner may be allowed. [2026:RJ-JP:16624] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-5284/2026]
3. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application and contended that petitioner remained absent twice during trial. He was declared absconded on 03.04.2024 and again granted liberty of bail, however again petitioner remained absent on 06.10.2025 and was declared absconded on 16.02.2026 and standing warrant was issued against him. Petitioner is a habitual offender and his conduct dis-entitle him for any leverage, therefore, considering the above facts, his bail application deserves to be dismissed. 4. Heard and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the fact that the case pertains to the year 2023 and the matter is exclusively triable by Magistrate. Petitioner has deposited the amount imposed by learned trial court under Section 446 Cr.P.C. The accused-petitioner is in custody since 11.03.2026 and the trial of the case may take considerable time, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, I deem 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 Lakhan @ Changa S/o Jaylal, in connection with FIR No. 130/2023 registered at Police Station Mehandipur Balaji District Dausa shall be enlarged on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- 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 concerned trial Judge shall verify the address and contact details of the sureties through concerned SHO before releasing the accused-petitioners on bail.

7. The accused is also directed to mark his presence on 25th of every month till conclusion of trial before the concerned police station.
The SHO of the concerned police station shall send the presence report of the accused petitioner on the same day to the trial court every month.
