What the court decided

AI extract

Outcome

Regular bail granted: release of petitioner/accused Sumit Tanwar s/o Sanjay Tuwar on unconditional bail upon furnishing a satisfactory personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- and two solvent and trustworthy sureties of Rs. 25,000/- each, with an undertaking to appear before the trial court on every hearing date during trial, subject to the accused not being wanted in any other case.

Issue for consideration

Whether regular bail should be granted to the petitioner/accused under Section 483 BNSS in FIR No. 123/2025 (Kota City) for offences under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 118(1), 109(1) and 3(5) BNS, at the stage of this second bail application preferred against the lower court's order dated 20-08-2025, the applicant having been in custody since 07-08-2025.

Court's answer

After considering the submissions and counter-submissions advanced by both sides and examining the available evidentiary material, and after weighing the complete factual position of the case, the nature of the evidence collected, the petitioner's period of custody, the time likely to be taken in trial and other circumstances, providing the facility of bail to the petitioner without expressing any final opinion on the merits of the case appears judicially justified.

Ratio / Principle

The second bail application is allowed: the petitioner/accused Sumit Tanwar s/o Sanjay Tuwar shall be released on unconditional bail ('vfoyEc tekur') if he furnishes a satisfactory personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- along with two solvent and trustworthy sureties of Rs. 25,000/- each, undertaking to remain present before the trial court on every hearing date during trial, provided he is not wanted in any other case.

Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Second regular-bail application under Section 483 BNSS by Sumit Tanwar s/o Sanjay Tuwar, confined in Central Jail, Kota, in FIR No. 123/2025 of a Kota City police station for offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 118(1), 109(1) and 3(5) BNS, preferred against the lower court's order dated 20-08-2025 passed on his earlier bail plea. The applicant was in custody since 07-08-2025; the public prosecutor opposed the application; counsel relied on the statements of a person named Sharma and a medical expert recorded during trial and urged that trial would take time. Allowing the application without expressing any final opinion on the merits, and after weighing the rival submissions, the available evidence, the custody period and the likely duration of trial, the Court (Vinod Kumar Bharwani, J., through video conference, order dated 16-01-2026) directed release on unconditional bail on a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two solvent and trustworthy sureties of Rs. 25,000/- each, the accused to remain present before the trial court on every hearing date, subject to his not being wanted in any other case.
