¶13

The petitioner has preferred this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS in FIR No.475/2025 registered at Police Station Sadar Bundi, District Bundi for offences under Sections 318(4), 338, 336(2), 340(2) and 61(2) of BNS, 2023.

¶14

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Public Prosecutor as well as learned counsel for the complainant and perused the material available on record.

¶15

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the petitioner is neither a beneficiary under the agreement nor a party to its execution. It is contended that the allegations against the petitioner is that he has signed the so-called registered document as attesting witness. Learned counsel further submits that the

(2 of 2)

petitioner has been in judicial custody since 19.03.2026. It is also submitted that though three other criminal cases of a different nature have been registered against the petitioner, he has already been granted bail in all those cases. Charge-sheet has been filed. The trial of the case will take considerable time, therefore, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in further custody, consequently, the bail application of the petitioner may be allowed.

¶20

Learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the complainant have vehemently opposed the bail application. 5. On consideration of the rival submissions and material available on record and in light of submissions made on behalf of petitioner but without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, I am inclined to grant benefit of bail to the petitioner. 6. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is directed that the petitioner Pappu Meghwal S/o Gopal , be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court on all subsequent dates of hearing till conclusion of the trial.
