MISC. CRIMINAL CASE No. 4597 of 2026
RAMENDRA SINGH PARMAR AND OTHERS

Appearance:
Shri Jai Prakash Mishra - Advocate for applicants.

ORDER
This is first application filed by the applicants under Section 482 of BNSS for grant of anticipatory bail.
The applicants apprehend their arrest in connection with Crime No.796/2025 registered at Police Station Kotwali District Datia for offence punishable under Sections 318(4) and 3(5) of BNS.
The allegation against the present applicants is that they dishonestly misappropriated an amount of approximately Rs. 21,56,330/-.
Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. It is contended that the applicants had entered into a lawful agreement with the complainant. Pursuant thereto, a civil dispute arose between the parties and the complainant filed an application under Order XXXIX Rules 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which came to be rejected vide order dated
NEUTRAL CITATION NO. 2026:MPHC-GWL:3764
2 MCRC-4597-2026 08.09.2025. It is further submitted that only after the rejection of the said civil application, the present criminal case has been lodged, which clearly demonstrates that the criminal machinery has been set into motion with an oblique motive to pressurize the applicant. The complainant is deliberately attempting to give a criminal colour to a purely civil dispute. There is no likelihood of the applicants' absconding or tampering with prosecution evidence or influencing witnesses in any manner. The applicants are ready and willing to abide by any condition that may be imposed by this Court. In view of the foregoing facts and circumstances, it is prayed that this Court may be pleased to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail to the applicants.
On the other hand, learned counsel for the State vehemently opposed the bail application and prayed for its rejection.
Heard the counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. Considering the totality of facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegations, without commenting on the merits of the case, this Court is of the considered opinion that the applicants have made out a case for grant of anticipatory bail.
Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of arrest, the applicants shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) each with one solvent surety of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer for their appearance before it during the course of investigation or before the trial Court concerned during trial, as the case may be.
This order will remain operative subject to compliance of the

v) The applicants shall not commit any other offence during the period of bail;
