Case brief
What is this about?
S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 6384/2025, High Court of Rajasthan, Jaipur Bench; decided 05/08/2025 by Justice Praveer Bhatnagar. Ashok Dasot sought bail under Section 483 BNSS in FIR No.58/2015 (P.S. Sodala) for offences under Sections 420, 406, 467, 468, 471 IPC. Court noted receipt of Rs.34,50,000/- from the complainant followed by resale of the same property, over 10 years' absence, absconder declaration with pending standing warrant under Section 37 of the Police Act, and 2017 charge-sheet under Section 299 Cr.P.C.; declined bail and dismissed the application.
What did the court decide?
Bail is refused because the petitioner's conduct — absence for more than 10 years, absconder status, and having received Rs.34,50,000/- from the complainant and thereafter selling the same property to another person — together with the grave nature of the allegations in the FIR, makes the Court disinclined to enlarge him on bail.
