Learned Public Prosecutor filed a report of service of notice issued to the private respondent. Service is complete.

¶18

I have given my thoughtful consideration to the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record carefully.

¶19

Having regard to the facts of the case and taking into account totality of circumstances, in my considered opinion, the submissions made by learned counsel for the appellant cannot be completely overlooked. In the present case it is prima facie seen that injured Prabhuram has received four injuries, out of which one is grievous on tibia and fibulae bone. No opinion of Medical Jurist is available on record as to dangerousness of injury caused to Prabhuram besides the fact that injuries are not on the vital part of the body. The specific allegation of causing injury was attributed to the co-accused Heeraram and Narayanram. The charge-sheet has already been filed. That the bail rejection order goes to show that appellant is not involved in any other case; that the trial is likely to take its own considerable time and no useful purpose would be served by keeping him in detention for an indefinite period. In that view of the matter, this Court is of the opinion that the appellant deserves indulgence of bail and thus, the order rejecting the application for bail filed on behalf of the appellant cannot be sustained.

¶20

Consequently, the appeal is allowed. The order dated 22.04.2024 passed by learned Special Judge, SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act Cases, Balotra, (Additional District & Sessions Judge, Balotra) in Criminal Misc. Case No.153/2024 is set aside and it is ordered that the accused-appellant Narayan Singh S/o

This order is subject to the condition that accused, within 7 days of his release and sureties, on the day of furnishing bail, will also furnish details of their all bank accounts, with bank and branch name, in shape of an affidavit, and submit legible copy of their Aadhar cards as well as front page of Bank pass book, for smooth recovery of penalty amount, if there arise a need for recovery of penalty under Section 446 Cr.P.C in future.
