(Currently The Accused Petitioner Is Confined At Sambhar Jail, Dist.

Mr. Rishi Raj Singh For Respondent(s) : Ms. Arti Sharma, PP Mr. M.S. Shekhawat, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN Order 24/03/2026 1. This bail application under Section 483 of BNSS has been filed on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.233/2025 registered at Police Station Jobner, District Jaipur Rural for offences punishable under Sections 318(4) & 316(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, (in short ‘BNS’) 2023. After completion of investigation, police filed charge-sheet in this case before the concerned Court for offences punishable under Sections 318(4), 316(2) & 61(2) of the BNS, 2023. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that the alleged offences are triable by Magistrate. It is submitted that the alleged bank account number, from which the cyber crime was committed, was opened in the name of co-accused Deepak Shah, [2026:RJ-JP:12455] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-2283/2026] who was solely operating and controlling the same. Counsel submits that the petitioner has no connection with the said bank account number. It is submitted that the trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. Counsel submits that the petitioner is in custody since 15.12.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner. It is submitted that serious allegations have been levelled against the petitioner and co-accused Deepak Shah regarding the commission of cyber crime. It is alleged that the petitioner, along with the co-accused, has committed fraud amounting to Rs. 1,91,28,000/- through the use of the alleged bank account. It is further submitted that although the said bank account stands in the name of co-accused Deepak Shah, the present petitioner was in possession and use of the bank passbook, cheque book, and the mobile number linked to the said account, and thereby participated in the commission of the alleged offences. It is also submitted that a total of 27 cyber crime complaints have been registered in relation to the said bank account. Moreover, the first bail application filed by co-accused Deepak Shah has already been dismissed by co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 02.12.2025. Counsel further submits that apart from the present case, two more cases were registered against the petitioner. Thus, looking to the gravity of offence and the evidence which has come on record so far, the petitioner does not deserve indulgence of bail. [2026:RJ-JP:12455] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-2283/2026] 4. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been acquitted in both the cases. 5. I have considered the contentions. 6. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by both the parties, especially considering the material available on record in the form of charge-sheet, as also considering the fact that alleged offences are triable by Magistrate and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion as well as looking to the custody period, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow the bail application. 7. This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner Ashok @ Pappu S/o Prabhudayal shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the 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. 8. The observations made hereinabove are only for decision of the bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J Manoj Solanki /70
