Order

1. The present bail application has been preferred under Section 483 B.N.S.S., 2023 , on behalf of the petitioner. The requisite details of the matter are tabulated herein below:

2. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier bail was granted to the petitioner by this Court vide order dated 22.01.2024 and during the currency of his bail, due to unforeseen circumstances, he was unable to appear before the learned Trial Court on the hearing dates. She further submits that due to some miscommunication, counsel for the petitioner failed to file exemption application before the learned Trial Court. Consequently, his bail bond was confiscated on 01.11.2025, he is in judicial custody since 19.12.2025. She also submits that the petitioner was released on bail in SBCRLMB No. 1645/2023, while considering the fact that the petitioner was a minor at that time, however, the petitioner has attained majority since then. Learned counsel assures this Court that in future, the petitioner will remain present on each and every date of the case before the learned trial court and if he again forfeit the bail bond then the indulgence of bail may not be extended to the petitioner.

3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposes the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner and prays for dismissal of the present bail application.

4. Heard and considered the submissions and material available on record.

5. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, more particularly that on an earlier occasion, bail was granted to the petitioner by this Court vide order dated 22.01.2024; that due to unforeseen circumstances and miscommunication, the petitioner failed to appear before the learned Trial Court, accordingly his bail bond was forfeited; and the petitioner is in judicial custody since 19.12.2025, thus, I deem it just and proper to grant one more opportunity to the petitioner subject to the condition that he will appear before the learned trial court on each and every date of hearing, barring any unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, failing which the Public Prosecutor will be at liberty to file an application for cancellation of the bail.

6. Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 483 B.N.S.S., 2023 is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner Vikram @ Veeka S/o Shri Ramesh Kumar shall be enlarged on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court for his appearance before the court concerned on all the dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
