Criminal Appeal (Sb) No. 54/2026 Sikandar S/o Shri Mohammed Hafiz, Aged About 30 Years, R/o Indra Coloni Taleda District Bundi Rajasthan. (At Present Confined At District Jail Bundi) ----Accused-Appellant Versus 1. State Of Rajasthan, Through P.P. 2. Kiran Meena D/o Ramprashad Meena, R/o Lala Ka Bada Jahajpur Bhilwara At Present Taleda District Bundi Rajasthan. ----Respondent/Complainant For Appellant(s) : Mr. Abdul Kalam Khan For Respondent(s) : Mr. Manvendra Singh Choudhary, PP HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SANGEETA SHARMA Order 18/03/2026 1. This criminal appeal has been filed on behalf of the accused- appellant under Section 14(A)(2) of S.C./S/T. (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, in connection with FIR No. 234/2025 registered at Police Station Talera, District Bundi, for the offence(s) under Section 69 BNS and Sections 3(1)(w)(i), 3(2)(v) of SC/ST Act. 2. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has been falsely implicated in this case and he has nothing to do with the alleged offences. Learned counsel further submits that the appellant is in custody since 06.09.2025 and charge-sheet has already filed against him. He further submits that it is a matter of consensus relationship; the age of victim is 22 years; there are no [2026:RJ-JP:11628] (2 of 3) [CRLAS-54/2026] criminal antecedents against the appellant; trial will take its own time, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the appellant in custody and, therefore, prays to enlarge the appellants on bail. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the submissions made by learned counsel for the appellant hereinabove and submits that no one has put appearance on behalf of the victim/complainant. 4. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the accused-appellant, the fact that charge-sheet has been filed in the matter; accused-appellant is behind the bars since 06.09.2025; trial will take its own time. Hence, this Court without commenting anything on merits/demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the appellant on bail. 5. Consequently, the instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 16.12.2025 passed by Special Court, SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Bundi in Criminal Bail Application No. 321/2025 is set aside. It is ordered that the accused-appellant Sikandar S/o Shri Mohammed Hafiz is ordered to be released 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 trial Court with the following conditions; (i) The accused-appellants shall not tamper with evidence or influence the witness in any manner. (ii) The accused-appellants shall not indulge in any criminal activity and shall not repeat any criminal offence punishable under the law. [2026:RJ-JP:11628] (3 of 3) [CRLAS-54/2026] (iii) The accused-appellants shall attend the hearing of the trial Court on the date fixed by the trial Court or as and when asked to appear before the trial Court.
