Order

05/03/2026

The petitioners have filed these bail applications under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.138/2023 registered at Police Station Todaraisingh, District Tonk for offences under Sections

[2026:RJ-JP:9445]

[CRLMB-2593/2026]

(2 of 3)

147, 148, 149, 323, 336, 332, 353, 307 of IPC and Section 3 of PDPP Act, 1984.

Since both these bail applications arise out of common FIR, hence, they are being decided by this common order. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have falsely been implicated in these cases. The allegations levelled against the petitioners are of causing injuries to the excise team and stopping them from performing their public duty. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no specific act has been attributed to the present petitioners. They again contend that co-accused Premchand, Dhanraj, Manraj, Atmaram and Rajaram have been enlarged on bail by trial Court vide order dated 18.03.2025. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner Bali Devi submits that she is a lady aged about 45 years. They again submit that petitioners are behind the bars since 25.02.2025. The trial of the case will take considerable time and no further custodial interrogation is required hence, on the ground of parity with co-accused, the bail applications of the petitioners may be allowed.

Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application.

On consideration of the rival submissions and material available on record and in the light of submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, I am inclined to grant benefit of bail to the petitioners.
