¶18

without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, this Court is of the opinion that the bail application filed by the petitioner deserves to be accepted.

¶19

Consequently, the bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed. The petitioner Govindram S/o Trilok Chand, arrested in FIR No.14/2020, Police Station Chapar, District Churu shall be released on bail on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each.

¶20

This Court is of the view that in the prevailing circumstances of complete lock-down amidst spread of COVID-19, furnishing of two sureties will be difficult on the one hand and the same may pose eminent threat to the concerned. It is, therefore, ordered that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing the personal bond. He may furnish requisite sureties by 28^th May, 2020 to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.

¶21

It would be required of the concerned Superintendent of Police/Jailer to apprise the petitioner about consequence of violation of the bond as stipulated in Section 229A of the Indian Penal Code, while releasing the petitioner on bail.

¶22

Petitioner shall be required to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. In case, he fails to furnish surety bonds by the stipulated time, the instant order will come to an end automatically.
