Order

20/05/2026

1. The applicant has filed the present bail application under

Section 483 of BNSS being aggrieved against the order dated

10.12.2025 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge,

Nokha, District Bikaner (Rajasthan) in Criminal Misc. Bail

Application No.300/2025, whereby the bail application filed by the

accused-applicant under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. was rejected. The

accused-applicant is behind the bars, pursuant to the F.I.R.

No.224/2025 registered at Police Station Nokha, District Bikaner

for the offences punishable under Sections 310(2), 312, 190,

[2026:RJ-JD:24473] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-2594/2026]

named in the FIR. He further submits that the only reason for

denial of bail is the pendency of 16 cases against the applicant,

and thus, without examining the merits, the trial court dismissed

the bail application solely on account of past antecedents.

3.1 Learned counsel also submits that similarly situated

co-accused Sunni has already been enlarged on bail by this Court

vide order dated 09.01.2026 passed in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous

Bail Application No. 206/2026 (Sunni v. State of Rajasthan), who

also had identical criminal antecedents. Likewise, co-accused

Manish and Ameen Khan have also been granted bail by this Court

vide orders dated 13.11.2025 passed in S.B. Criminal

Miscellaneous Bail Application Nos. 13140/2025 (Manish v. State

of Rajasthan) and 11892/2025 (Ameen Khan v. State of

Rajasthan) respectively. Learned counsel submits that the case of

the present applicant is not distinguishable from that of the

above-named co-accused persons. He further submits that the

applicant is in judicial custody since 19.06.2025 and that the trial

of the case is likely to take considerable time. Hence, the benefit

of bail may be granted to the accused-applicant.

4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application and

submits that looking to the seriousness of allegations levelled

against the present applicant, he does not deserves to be enlarged

on bail.

5. Having considered the arguments advanced on both the

sides and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the

case, including the facts that similarly situated above named co-

accused persons from whom the recovery was effected, have

already been enlarged on bail by this Court, and the applicant has

been in judicial custody since 19.06.2025 and the trial of the case

is likely to take a sufficiently long time, this Court, without

expressing any opinion on the merits or demerits of the case, is

inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail.

6. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483

B.N.S.S. is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-applicant Arjun

S/o Jala Ram arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.224/2025

registered at Police Station Nokha, District Bikaner shall be

released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he

furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of

Rs.25,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for his

appearance before that court on each & every date of hearing and

whenever called upon to do so til
