CRLMB/10950/2026 of SHRI BHAGWAN @ RAHUL S/O SHRI VIDHYARAM Vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN on 2 September 2026

Order

02/09/2026

1. The petitioner has filed this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.8/2020 registered at Police Station Kotwali Dholpur, District Dholpur for offences under Sections 457 and 380 of IPC, 1860.

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 contends that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He submits that though the allegation levelled against the present petitioner is that he committed theft in the shop of the complainant- Ankit but no stolen article has been recovered from his conscious possession. He contends that co-accused Hariom has got benefit of bail by this Court on 08.12.2025. Other co-accused Kartar, Ramhet, Sahab

(2 of 3) [CRLMB-10950/2026] Singh and Suresh also have enlarged on bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 19.05.2021. He again submits that co-accused Amarsingh also got benefit of bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 23.09.2022. Petitioner is behind bars since 18.05.2026 though 33 cases have been reported against him, the above cases were reported between the years 2017 and 2020, and in all the cases, he is already on bail. Charge- sheet has already been filed. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody and on the ground of parity with other co-accused, the bail application deserves to be allowed.

4. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application.

5. On consideration of the rival submissions and material available on record and in light of submission 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 petitioner Shri Bhagwan @ Rahul S/o Shri Vidhyaram, 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 he shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing till conclusion of the trial with following further conditions:-

(3 of 3) [CRLMB-10950/2026]

(i) that the petitioner shall mark his presence before the SHO, Police Station Kotwali Dholpur, District Dholpur in every 15 days of each month till conclusion of trial.

(ii) The concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register for this purpose. 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 trial court in this regard.

(iii) The petitioner shall not repeat any offence in future.

(iv) If breach of any of the directions is reported or come to the notice of the trial court the same shall alone be a reason for learned Public Prosecutor to apply for cancellation of bail and trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail. (PRAMIL KUMAR MATHUR),J Chandan/31
