Order 18/05/2026
1. The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the accused-petitioner under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. in connection with FIR No. 254/2025 registered at Police Station Kanchanpur, District Dholpur, for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109(1), 115(2), 126(2) & 352 of B.N.S., 2023 and Sections 3 & 25 of Arms Act.
2.
Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He also submits that the accused-petitioner is in custody since
27.11.2025. He further submits that trial is yet to be commenced and the co-accused, Atar Singh Bhadana S/o Udaibhan has already been enlarged on bail by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 26.09.2025 in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 12298/2025 and his case is similar to the
[2026:RJ-JP:20776] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-903/2026] present accused-petitioner, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the accused-petitioner in custody and therefore, prays that the accused-petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor as well as learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the
submissions made by learned counsel for the accused-petitioner hereinabove and submits that the accused-petitioner is a habitual offender and there are eight other criminal cases registered against him from year 2017 to 2024. It is also submitted that co- accused Atar Singh Bhadana S/o Udaibhan has been enlarged on bail on the ground that allegation of firing is upon the accused- petitioner Keshav. It is also submitted that injured Kuldeep has sustained injuries on the vital part of the body i.e., chest which is attributed to the accused-petitioner Keshav. A complaint filed by Jyotiram, a witness in the present matter is also submitted before the Court wherein it is stated that he has been receiving threats from the accused persons to arrive at a settlement, so the accused-petitioner may not be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS.
4. Considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, the material available before this Court and the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, that the main allegation of firing is upon the accused-petitioner Keshav. Accused-petitioner fired on the vital part i.e. chest of injured Kuldeep. It is pertinent to mention that this is a matter of attempt to murder. Keeping in view the fact that neither the injured nor the material witnesses have been examined so far and they are receiving threats from
[2026:RJ-JP:20776] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-903/2026] the accused persons, therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, this Court is not inclined to extend the benefit of bail to the accused-petitioner under Section 483 BNSS at this stage.
5. Accordingly, the present criminal misc. bail application is dismissed.
6. 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.
