The present bail application has been filed under Section 483 BNSS, 2023 against the order dated 13.03.2026 passed by learned Special Judge, (Exam) Additional District and Session Judge No. 1, Bharatpur, in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 05/2026, whereby the bail application of the petitioner was rejected in connection with F.I.R. No.535/2025, Police Station Sewar, District Bharatpur for the offences under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 61(2)(a) of the BNS, 2023 and Sections 3, 7, 10 of Rajasthan Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2022 (hereinafter referred to the ‘Act of 2022’). 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the challan in the case has already been filed and there are two criminal antecedents against the petitioner. Moreover, the conclusion of trial will take sufficiently long time, therefore, he prays that the

(2 of 3)

petitioner may be enlarged on bail as the accused is in custody since 02.01.2026.

¶18

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that all the offences, except those punishable under the Act of 2022, are triable by a Magistrate. It is further submitted that the maximum punishment prescribed for the offences under the Act of 2022 is five years, and those offences are triable by the Special Court constituted under the said Act.

¶19

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits there are two criminal antecedents of committing similar offence against the accused- petitioner. Hence, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Additional Government Advocate opposes the present bail application. 6. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Government Advocate and perused the material available on record. 7. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, and upon consideration of the arguments advanced, particularly the fact that the petitioner has been in custody since 02.01.2026, and that the offences, except those under the Act of 2022, are triable by a Magistrate, whereas the offences under the said Act are triable by a Special Court and considering that the maximum punishment even under the special Act is five years and that the trial is likely to take considerable time, further the fact that the co-accused Lochan Singh has already been enlarged on bail vide order dated 01.07.2026, but considering the fact that the petitioner was involved at earlier two occasions having committed
