Order 30/03/2026
1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.54/2024 registered at Special Police Station (SOG), District ATS & SOG, Jaipur for the offences punishable under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B of IPC and Sections 3, 4 & 6 of Rajasthan Public Examination (Prevention of Unfairmeans) Act, 1992. After completion of investigation, police filed charge-sheet in this matter.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case.
Learned counsel submits that alleged offences are triable by Magistrate. He further submits that co-accused person namely,
[2026:RJ-JP:13365] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-3431/2026] Gopal Dhaka has already been granted benefit of bail by this Court. He argues that alleged exam was conducted in the year 2016 and for which FIR has been registered in the year 2024. He further argues that the petitioner has already been suspended from his service and presently, he is in judicial custody since
01.12.2025. He further argues that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner, trial of the case will take considerable time in its conclusion and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. I have considered the contentions. 5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, especially the fact that alleged offences are triable by Magistrate; co-accused person namely, Gopal Dhaka has been granted benefit of bail by this Court; charge-sheet has been filed; absence of criminal antecedents and trial will take time in its conclusion as well as looking to the period of custody, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow the bail application. 6. This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner- Laduram Vishnoi S/o Sonaram shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees Five Lakh Only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the
[2026:RJ-JP:13365] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-3431/2026] stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. 7. It is made clear that the accused-petitioner shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail. 8. If any breach of this condition is reported or come to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the trial Court to cancel the bail granted to him by this Court. 9.
The observation made hereinabove is only for decision of the instant bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J MADAN/44
