Ms. Pragya Tiwari - Advocate for the applicant.

Shri Hemant Sharma - G.A. for the State.

ORDER They are heard. Perused the challan papers.

2] This is the applicant's second bail application filed under Section 483 of B.N.S.S./ 439 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, as he/ she is implicated in connection with Crime No.546/2023 registered at Police Station Khargone, District Khargone (MP) for offence punishable under Sections 302 and 201 of IPC. The applicant is in custody since 12.03.2025.

3] Applicant's first bail application M.Cr.C. No.20968 of 2024 was allowed by this Court on 11.06.2024, however, subsequently, the applicant was again found to be involved in another case at Crime No.363/2024, registered at Police Station Khargone, District Khargone, under Sections 331(4) and 305(a) of the B.N.S., 2023, as it was alleged that the applicant was involved in the aforesaid case of theft, wherein, certain scrap was stolen by him, worth Rs.1,200/-, which led the Trial Court to cancel the bail, vide its order dated 10.03.2025.

4] Counsel for the applicant has submitted that in the subsequent case, the applicant has already been granted bail by this Court only, in M.Cr.C. No.50928/2024 dated 12.12.2024, and in the present case, the applicant is now lodged in jail since 12.03.2025. Thus, it is submitted that the application may be allowed, as the applicant has already suffered sufficient incarceration, and although he was already granted bail by this Court as aforesaid.

5] Counsel for the State, on the other hand, has opposed the prayer, and it is submitted that ten other cases have also been registered against the applicant, thus, no case for interference is made out.

6] Having considered the rival submissions, on perusal of the case-diary, and under the facts and circumstances of the case, when the applicant was earlier granted bail, and presently also, he is lodged in jail since 12.03.2025, and in the subsequent case of theft, he has also been granted bail by this Court, this Court is inclined to allow the present application.

7] Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case, the application filed by the applicant is allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with one solvent surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his/her regular appearance before the trial Court during trial with a condition that he / she shall remain present before the court concerned during trial and shall also abide by the conditions enumerated under Section 437 (3) Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. However, looking to the criminal antecedents of the applicant, the applicant is also directed to mark his presence in the concerned police station on every Sunday between 12:00 noon to 04:00 p.m.

8] It is also directed that if the applicant is found to be involved in violation of any of the terms of this order, an application for cancellation of his bail may be filed before the Trial Court itself, who shall decide the same in accordance with law.

9] M.Cr.C. stands allowed and disposed of.

C.c. as per rules.
