Order

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

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

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
