This application for bail under Section 483 BNSS (439

Cr.P.C.) has been filed by the petitioner who has been arrested in

connection with F.I.R. No.174/2022 registered at Police Station

Makrana, District Nagaur, for offences under Sections 306 and 406

of IPC.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in the

present case, the allegations against the petitioner are under

Section 306 IPC, and the charge-sheet has already been filed. The

petitioner has been in judicial custody since 14.11.2025. Learned

counsel for the petitioner further submits that the allegations in

the FIR are that all the three accused persons, namely the

petitioner Prakash Anchara, Ramu Buldak, and Devaram Kurada,

were blackmailing and had retained the gold earrings and a sum

of ₹5,000/- belonging to the deceased and were not returning the

same, and were allegedly harassing the deceased, due to which he

committed suicide. However, in the alleged suicide note, it is

stated that there was some video with the petitioner. It is

submitted that no other allegations of any instigation by the

petitioner has been levelled. It is stated that no such suicide note

has been submitted with the charge-sheet and only a fard is

there. That apart no such video has been recovered from the

petitioner, nor does any such video exist.

Further, despite several opportunities having been granted,

the State has failed to produce the FSL report in the matter. It is

submitted that, in any case, the same would be a matter of

evidence before the learned trial Court if any such FSL report is

subsequently received. Learned counsel for the petitioner further

submits that, even if the prosecution case is taken at its face

value, the essential ingredients constituting an offence under

Section 306 IPC are not made out against the petitioner. It is also

submitted that the trial of the case is likely to take a considerable

period of time; therefore, the benefit of bail may kindly be granted

to the accused-petitioner.

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor as well as learned

counsel for the complainant has vehemently opposed the bail

application.

This Court has considered the arguments advanced by the

learned counsel for the parties. In the present case, as per the

suicide note the allegations against the petitioner is that he had

some video of the deceased; for which he was blackmailing

however, no such recovery has been effected, and the FSL report

of the mobile of the petitioner has not been received. Learned

Public Prosecutor has been granted several opportunities since

January, 2026 to produce the FSL report; however, the same has

not been produced till date. Nevertheless, if any such FSL report is

received, the same shall be considered by the learned trial Court

during the course of trial. So far as the allegation against the

petitioner under Section 306 IPC is concerned, there must be

material indicating instigation on the part of the petitioner which

led the deceased to commit suicide. At this stage, prima facie, it is

doubtful whether the material on record discloses any such

instigation on the part of the petitioner. However, the learned trial

Court shall examine the said aspect threadbare during the course

of trial. The charge-sheet in this case has already been filed and

the petitioner is
