Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 1721/2026 Datar Singh Shekhawt S/o Shri Hazari Singh Shekhawat, R/o 15 Vaid Ji Ka Chouhara, Niwaru Road, Kishan Dham Second Kardhani Jaipur Rajasthan Permanent Resident Of Village Mavta Udaipurwati Rajasthan. (At Present Accused Petitioner Confined Central Jail Jaipur). ----Accused-Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through PP ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Surya Pratap Singh, Adv. For Respondent(s) : Ms. Arti Sharma, PP with Mr. Devi Singh, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN Order 27/03/2026 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.713/2023 registered at Police Station Jhotwara, District Jaipur (West) for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 406 & 120-B of IPC, Sections 4, 5 & 6 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978 and Section 21 of Banning of Unregulated Deposits Schemes Act, 2019. 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 and he is in custody since 04.11.2023. He submits that there is bleak chance of culmination of trial in near future as till date, only 2 witnesses have been examined out of 7 cited prosecution [2026:RJ-JP:12864] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-1721/2026] witnesses. He further submits that with almost similar allegations, the petitioner has been implicated in 14 other cases, out of which in one case, Co-ordinate Bench of this Court has granted benefit of bail to the petitioner vide order dated 31.01.2026 and in one another case, he has been acquitted after completion of trial. He contends that in such circumstances, 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 and submits that there is specific allegation against the petitioner that he cheated several persons and according to the charge-sheet, cheating amount is around Rs.200 crore. 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 petitioner is in custody since 04.11.2023 and in identical other cases, benefit of bail has been granted by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court; charge-sheet has been filed 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- Datar Singh Shekhawt S/o Shri Hazari Singh Shekhawat 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 [2026:RJ-JP:12864] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-1721/2026] Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) 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. 7. It is made clear that after being released in all the cases, the accused-petitioner shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail and he shall mark his presence in first week of every month in the concerned police station, till trial is concluded. 8. Concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register recording the attendance of the petitioner, as directed above. In case the petitioner fails to mark his presence in the concerned police station, as directed above, the concerned SHO is directed to immediately report the matter to the concerned Court in this regard. 9. If any breach of these conditions is reported or comes to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the trial Court to cancel the bail granted to the petitioner by this Court. 10. Office is directed to send a copy of this order to the concerned SHO for necessary compliance. 11. 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/25
