For Respondent(s) : Mr. Deepak Chowdhary, GA-cum-AAG

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MANOJ KUMAR GARG
Order
12/09/2025
The present 2nd bail application has been filed under Section
483 B.N.S.S./439 Cr.P.C. on behalf of the petitioner, who is in
judicial custody in connection with F.I.R. No.204/2021 registered
at Mahila Thana, District Hanumangarh for the offences punishable
under Sections 302, 304B, 498A, 323 & 120-B of IPC.
Mr. Devanand, uncle of the petitioner submits that the
petitioner is behind the bars since 09.08.2021 and trial of the case
is yet pending.
He place reliance on the judgment of Honb'le Supreme Court
in the case of Balwinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab & Anr. (Special
Leave to Appeal (Crl.) No.8523/2024) in which while granting bail
it has been observed as under:
" 9. The incident in the present case occurred on
25.06.2020 and the petitioner was arrested

[2025:RJ-JD:40846] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-8010/2025]
soon thereafter on 26.06.2020. By now, 6 co-
accused have been granted bail. As the
prosecution wishes to examine 17 more
witnesses, the trial is unlikely to conclude on a
near date.
10. Considering the above and to avoid the
situation of the trial process itself being the
punishment particularly when there is
presumption of innocence under the Indian
jurisprudence, we deem it appropriate to grant
bail to the petitioner - Balwinder Singh. It is
ordered accordingly. Appropriate bail conditions
be imposed by the learned trial court."
A coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Umesh Vyas
vs. State of Rajasthan (S.B. Criminal Misc. II Bail Application
No.14958/2022), vide order dated 17.03.2023, also observed as
follows:
"The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of Abdul
Majeed Lone Vs. Union Territory of Jammu and
Kashmir [Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.)
No.3961/2022], Amit Singh Moni Vs. State of
Himachal Pradesh (Criminal Appeal No.668/2020),
Tapan Das Vs. Union of India [Special Leave to
Appeal (Criminal) No.5617/2021], Kulwant Singh
Vs. State of Punjab [Special Leave to Appeal
(Criminal) No.5187/2019], Ghanshyam Sharma
Vs. State of Rajasthan [Special Leave to Appeal
(Criminal) No.5397/2019], Nadeem Vs. State of
UP [Special Leave to Appeal (Criminal)
No.1524/2022] and Mukesh Vs. The State of
Rajasthan [Special Leave to Appeal (Criminal)
No.4089/2021] has granted bail to the accused
persons, against whom the allegations are of
transporting or possessing narcotic contraband
above commercial quantity, on the ground of
custody period and taking into consideration the
fact that the trial against the said accused persons
will take time in completion. The Hon'ble Supreme
Court has ordered for release of the accused
persons who were in custody from two years to
four years. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed
the bail application.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and
circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to
allow this fifth bail application solely on the ground
of custody period of the accused petitioner and
keeping in view the fact that the trial against him
has not been completed till date.

[2025:RJ-JD:40846] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-8010/2025]
Accordingly, without expressing any opinion
on the merits of the case, this third bail
application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is
allowed and it is directed that petitioner Umesh
Vyas S/o Shri Ganeshlal Ji shall be released on
bail in connection with FIR No.15/2019 of Police
Station Charbhuja, District Rajsamand provided
he executes a personal bond in a sum of
Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties
of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned
trial court for his appearance before that court on
each and every date of hearing and whenever
called upon to do so till the completion of the
trial."
Learned AAG has opposed the prayer of bail.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances
of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused
petitioner.
Accordingly, the second bail application filed under Section
483 B.N.S.S./439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that
petitioner - Mukesh @ Makara S/o Shri Mani Ram shall be released
on bail in connection with F.I.R. No.204/2021 registered at Mahila
Thana, District Hanumangarh provided he executes a personal
bond in a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/-
each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance
before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever
called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
