1 S.B.Cr.Misc. II Bail App. No. 1446/2008 (Prem Raj Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : 17/04/2008 HON'BLE MR.H.R.PANWAR, J. Dr. S.S.Jodha for the petitioner. Mr. Ashok Upadhyay, Public Prosecutor. This is second bail application. Earlier bail application came to be dismissed on September 03, 2007. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after dismissal of the earlier bail application, the trial has not proceeded and the petitioner is in custody for more than one year. He was arrested on 3.4.2007 and so far the trial has not proceeded. Charges have only been framed very recently and no prosecution witness has been examined by the trial court. The offence is triable by a Court of Judicial Magistrate and trial is likely to take long time. Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the petitioner has already suffered the imprisonment of over one year by remaining in custody and the trial is likely to take long time, without commenting on the merit of the case, I think it just and proper to enlarge the accused petitioner on bail. 2 Accordingly, this bail application filed under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Prem Raj S/o Shri Hapu Ram be released on bail in FIR No. 42/07 P.S. Mathania, district Jodhpur provided he executes a personal bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- 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.
