JUSTICE PRAMIL KUMAR MATHUR
Order 13/07/2026
1. The petitioner has filed this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.198/2026 registered at Police Station Itawa, District Kota Rural for offences under Section 305(d) of BNS, 2023.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner contend that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the present petitioner is that he committed the theft of an idol from the temple and caused damage to it. Petitioner is behind the bars since 24.05.2026 without any criminal past. The matter is exclusively triable by the Magistrate. The investigation/trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose
[2026:RJ-JP:26348] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-10065/2026] would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody, consequently, the bail application deserves to be allowed.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the bail application of the petitioner.
5. On consideration of the rival submissions and material available on record and in the light of submissions made by
learned counsel for the petitioner but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, I am inclined to grant benefit of bail to the petitioner.
6. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is directed that the petitioner Nandbihari S/o Modulal be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation that each of he shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing till conclusion of the trial.
