Heard Mr. Vagal, learned Advocate for Applicant and Mr. Palkar, learned APP for Respondent– State. 2. This is an Application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 seeking Bail in connection with C.R.No.570 of 2025 registered with Hadapsar Police Station, District Pune for the offences punishable under Sections 331(5), 305, 317(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNS’) and Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2) and 3(4) of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (for short ‘MCOCA’), 1999. 3. Applicant is arraigned as Accused No.1 in the present crime. Though the learned Prosecution submits that MCOCA is applied and 1 of 4 71.BA.1459.2026.doc the Applicant is involved in 16 offences, only details of 4 offences are provided to the Court, out of which only 1 offence is under Section 307 whereas the rest of the offences are all relating to theft and other allied offences. 4. There are 6 accused persons in the present crime, out of which 5 of them have been already enlarged on bail. Allegation in the present crime is of the Applicant having committed house trespass and stolen jewellry. 5. Role of Applicant is identical to co-accused Nos.2 and 3 who have already been enlarged on bail and therefore the learned Advocate Mr. Vagal persuades the Court to consider parity. Most importantly, he would submit that the evidence against Applicant is purely circumstantial and whether the Applicant was indeed involved in the present crime or otherwise is not known. 6. Recovery of some ornaments has been made, but the role of Applicant has not been attributed to the same. Considering the circumstantial evidence in the present matter and the Reply filed by the Prosecution, Applicant has made out a case for grant of bail on the ground of parity. 7. Hence, in view of above prima facie observations and findings, Bail Application of Applicant is allowed subject to the following terms and conditions:- 2 of 4 71.BA.1459.2026.doc (i) Applicant – Ravisingh Shamsingh Kalyani is directed to be immediately released from prison in connection with CR. No.570 of 2025; (ii) Applicant is directed to be released on bail on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rs. Twenty Five Thousand only) with one or two sureties in the like amount; (iii) Applicant shall report to the Investigating Officer at Hadapsar Police Station, once every month, on the first Monday of the month between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. until commencement of trial and thereafter shall attend all dates of hearing before the Trial Court; (iv) Applicant shall cooperate with the conduct of the trial and remain present before the Trial Court on all dates, unless specifically exempted. Applicant shall not seek unnecessary adjournments. Any such conduct shall entitle the prosecution to apply for cancellation of bail; (v) Applicant shall not leave the State of Maharashtra without prior permission of the Trial Court; (vi) Applicant shall not influence any of the witnesses or tamper with the evidence in any manner; 3 of 4 71.BA.1459.2026.doc (vii) Applicant shall keep the Investigating Officer informed of his current residential address and mobile telephone number and shall forthwith inform the Investigating Officer of any change in his residential address or mobile telephone number, as and when such change occurs; and (viii)Any breach or infraction of any of the aforesaid conditions shall entail cancellation of the bail granted to the Applicant. 8. It is clarified that the observations made in this order are limited for the purpose of granting bail only and I have not made any observations on merits of the case. The trial shall be adjudicated on the strength of the evidence led and strictly on its own merits being uninfluenced with any of the prima facie observations made hereinabove in this order. 9. Bail Application is allowed and disposed in the above terms. [ MILIND N. JADHAV, J. ] Ajay 4 of 4 AJAY TRAMBAK UGALMUGALE Digitally signed by AJAY TRAMBAK UGALMUGALE Date: 2026.09.16 20:08:27 +0530
