MISC. CRIMINAL CASE No. 60374 of 2025

RISHIRAJ CHAUDHARY

Versus

THE STATE OF MADHYA PRADESH

Appearance:

Shri Rahul Sharma- Advocate for the applicant.

Shri Manoj Singh- Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.

ORDER motor cycles bonafide along with other persons and he was not aware of the fact that it was stole one. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet has been filed. It is further submitted that the applicant is in jail since 19.11.2025.

This is first application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya

Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short 'BNSS') by the applicant for grant of regular bail relating to Crime No.592/2025 registered at Police Station City Kotwali, District Rewa for the offence punishable under Sections 317(2), 317(5), 317(4) and 3(5) of B.N.S. The applicant is in custody since

19.11.2025.

2. As per the prosecution case, the applicant is a member of a group who used to commit theft of motor cycles. The present applicant was found in possession of five motor cycles including some unassembled parts of motor

cycle.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. It is further submitted that there is no criminal past against the applicant. He has purchased these

Thus, it is prayed that the present applicant may be released on bail.

4. On the other hand, the counsel for the State has opposed the bail application and submitted that there were 12 motor cycles recovered from the applicant along with other co-accused persons although he admitted that there is no criminal antecedent of the applicant but he submitted that applicant was in association with other co-accused. Therefore, he prays for dismissal of this application.

5. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case and particularly the fact that there is no criminal antecedent of the applicant and charge-sheet has already been filed, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail subject to some stringent condition. Thus, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, this application is allowed.

6. It is directed that the present applicant Rishi Raj Chaudhary shall be enlarged on bail his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court concerned for his appearance before the said Court on all such dates as may be fixed in this regard during pendency of the trial. It is further directed that the applicant shall comply with the provisions of Section 480 (3) of BNSS.

7. It is made clear that in case of any subsequent registration of alike offence against the present applicant, it shall be considered as violation of the conditions of this bail order and in that event the applicant would become disentitled to remain on bail under this order and trial Court shall be free to treat this order as cancelled and proceed against the applicant further in accordance with law.

8. Accordingly, this M.Cr.C. stands allowed and disposed of.
