Kaushal Kumar S/O Siyaram Vs the State of Rajasthan — Cheating and Forgery | Rajasthan HC (2025)

What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Dismissed

Issue for consideration

Whether the petitioner/accused, arraigned in FIR No. 115/2022 for offences under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471, 384 and 120-B IPC, is entitled to the benefit of bail in his fifth bail application moved under Section 483 BNSS, in the face of earlier rejections and other pending criminal cases.

Court's answer

On perusal of the file, the allegations against petitioner Kaushal Kumar are that he himself prepared forged documents in his own name in respect of the complainant's land and sold the land; the trial is underway and prosecution evidence is being recorded.

Ratio / Principle

The petitioner's third bail application had already been rejected on merits on 16.05.2025 and no material change favourable to the accused had occurred thereafter; it was additionally stated that nine further criminal cases were pending against him.

Key takeaways

In the circumstances, considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, it did not appear appropriate to extend the benefit of bail to the accused; the fifth bail application was accordingly rejected and dismissed.ratio¶27

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Bail refused — fifth bail plea; forgery and sale of land documents (Jaipur). By order dated 10.12.2025 in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Vth Bail Application No. 12302/2025, the Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench (Shubha Mehta, J.), dismissed the fifth bail application of Kaushal Kumar under Section 483 BNSS in FIR No. 115/2022 of a Jaipur police station for offences under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471, 384 and 120-B IPC. The allegations were that the applicant himself prepared forged documents in his own name relating to the complainant's land and sold the land. His third bail application had been rejected on merits on 16.05.2025 and the fourth on 25.05.2025; the court found no material change in circumstances thereafter, noted that nine additional cases were stated to be pending against the accused, and that prosecution evidence was still being recorded (9 of 20 witnesses examined, per the defence). Holding enlargement on bail inappropriate in the totality of facts and circumstances, the court dismissed the application. The three precedents placed by the defence were merely referred to and not engaged with.
