JUSTICE PRAMIL KUMAR MATHUR Order 28/04/2026 1. The petitioner has preferred this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.55/2026 registered at Police Station CPS Jaipur, District ACB District for offences under Section 7 of PC Act, 1988 and Section 308(2) of BNS, 2023. 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 in the present matter, the complainant is a public servant working under the supervision of the present petitioner. For committing several irregularities in his work, the petitioner had issued notices [2026:RJ-JP:17920] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-4917/2026] to the complainant, and therefore, being annoyed with these notices, complainant has lodged this FIR on the basis of false and concocted grounds. It is further submitted that nothing was recovered from the petitioner’s conscious possession but a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- alleged to be bribe money was recovered from a couch in his house. Phenolphthalein test of petitioner is not fully positive. Petitioner is behind the bars since 24.02.2026 without any criminal past. Charge-sheet has already been filed. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody, consequently, the bail application deserves to 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 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 Jagdish Prasad Meena S/o Late Shri Jamnalal 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.
