01/05/2026
1. The present criminal appeal has been filed by the accused- appellants under Section 14-A SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act in connection with F.I.R. No. 59/2026 Police Station Jhalrapatan, District Jhalawar, for the offence(s) punishable under Section 189(2), 126(2), 115(2), 119(1), 352, 324(2) BNS and Section 3-1(r)(s), 3-2(va) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
2. Learned counsel for the appellants submits that the appellants have falsely been implicated in the case and they have nothing to do with the alleged offences. Learned counsel further
(2 of 3) [CRLAS-795/2026] submits that no specific allegation of caste related abused have been made against the appellants in the FIR. Learned counsel also submits that the injuries sustained by Prahlad are simple in nature and the grievous injury caused to Mangi Devi is on the finger of the left hand. He further submits that except the offence under Section 119(2) BNS, all the offences are bailable.
3. Learned counsel further contends that co-accused person namely Chotu Soni has already been enlarged on bail by a Co- ordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 15.04.2026, in S.B. Criminal Appeal (Sb) No.626/2026. He also contends that the appellants are in custody since 07.03.2026 and the investigation as well as trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping them in custody, and therefore prays to enlarge the appellants on bail.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor informs that due information has been given to complainant / victim regarding the hearing of this appeal, however, despite information, no one has put in appearance on behalf of the complainant / victim to oppose the present appeal.
5. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made hereinabove and submits that appellant namely Sandeep has five criminal antecedents and appellant namely deepak has two criminal antecedents.
6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.
7. Taking into consideration the overall facts and circumstances of the case; the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the
(3 of 3) [CRLAS-795/2026] appellants, the fact that co-accused has already been enlarge on bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court, investigation as well as trial will take considerable time in its conclusion, without commenting anything upon the merits / demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to allow the appeal filed by the appellants.
8. Consequently, the instant appeal is allowed. The impugned order dated 17.03.2026 passed by the Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Jhalawar, (Raj.) in Criminal Bail Application No. 40/2026, is set aside. It is ordered that the accused-appellants,
(1) Sandeep Panchal, S/o Shri Rameshchand & (2) Deepak Sain Alias Bheru, S/o Murli Sain, arrested in connection with aforesaid F.I.R., shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided each of them furnishes a personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000/- and two sureties of Rs. 50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when they are called upon to do so. It is directed that the appellants shall not indulge in commission of any criminal activity of similar nature. (SANDEEP TANEJA),J Aman/28
