Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case; charge-sheet has already been filed. He also submits that petitioner is behind the bars since long; that similarly situated co-accused person namely Vikram has already been enlarged on bail; conclusion of trial may take a long time, and no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars and, therefore, prays that the petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS.

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the bail application and submits that there are criminal antecedents against the accused-petitioner. 4. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the fact that charge-sheet has already been filed; that nothing has been recovered at the instance of the accused-petitioner; petitioner is behind the bars since 10.04.2026; that similarly situated co-accused person namely Vikram has already been enlarged on bail by this Court vide order dated 17.03.2026 in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 2412/2026; trial will take its own time. Hence, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail. 5. Therefore, this instant bail application under Section 483 BNSS is accordingly, allowed and the accused-petitioner Somdutt S/o Hajari Lal 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 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. 6. It is made clear that the accused-petitioner shall not involve himself in any offence(s) during currency of the bail and he shall mark his presence once in a month in the concerned police station. 7. In case of any breach of the aforementioned condition, the learned Public Prosecutor shall be free to move the application [2026:RJ-JP:21813] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-7443/2026] against the accused-petitioner for cancellation of the bail before the concerned Court. 8. 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. 9.
