Order

16/04/2026

This bail application has been filed on behalf of the accusedpetitioner under Section 483 of BNSS in connection with FIR No. 03/2026 registered at Police Station Cyber Police Station Sikar, District Sikar for the offence(s) under Sections 319(2), 318(4) & 61(2)(a) of BNS and 66(D) of IT Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case; charge-sheet has been filed; petitioner is behind the bars since 18.02.2026. He further submits that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner; conclusion of trial may take a long time, so no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars and, therefore, prays that the petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS.

Per contra , learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the bail application.

Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the fact that charge-sheet has been filed; petitioner is behind the bars since 18.02.2026; there are no criminal antecedents against the accused-petitioner; trial will take its own time. Hence, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

Therefore, this bail application under Section 483 BNSS is accordingly, allowed and the accused-petitioner Sameer Khan S/o Hafij Khan is ordered to be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties of Rs. 25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the trial Court, with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.

The observation made hereinabove is only for decision of the instant bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner.

Office is directed to send a copy of this order to the concerned trial Court through e-mail/fax, for necessary compliance.
