Ganesh S/O Chiranji v. State of Rajasthan
Case brief
What is this about?
Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench (Justice Praveer Bhatnagar, order dated 21/01/2026) dismissed the second bail application of Ganesh under Section 483 B.N.S.S. arising from FIR No.05/2003, P.S. Bahrawanda Kalan, District Sawai Madhopur, for offences under Sections 302 and 201 IPC. Despite the petitioner's belated appearance, acquittal of co-accused Ram Singh and Ramesh Singh in Criminal Appeal No.355/2010 (order dated 10.12.2014), and only one witness examined so far, bail was refused on account of the petitioner's prolonged absence of over 22 years and non-appearance pursuant to the standing warrant; his first bail application had been dismissed on merits on 14.08.2025.
What did the court decide?
Though the petitioner has now appeared before the Court, considering his long absence of more than 22 years and failure to make any endeavour to appear in pursuance of the standing warrant, the Court is not inclined to enlarge him on bail.
