IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CR.MISC.BAIL APPLICATION NO.7746/2010 Radhey Shyam Lodha Vs. State of Rajasthan Date of order : 25/8/2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Mahesh Gupta for the petitioner. Shri Piyush Kumar, P.P. for the State. ****** Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the relevant documents placed before me. Contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the only allegation against the petitioner is that he was accompanying other co-accused while they snatched Rs. 2000/- from the complainant. In fact a false case has been registered against the petitioner and other accused in order to counter the criminal case registered at the instance of accused against the complainant, alleging that they were distributing currency notes during Panchayat elections. The Co- ordinate Bench of this Court while considering this fact was persuaded to extend the benefit of anticipatory bail to principal accused Yaswant Kumar vide order dated 20.7.2010 passed in S.B. Cr. Misc. Bail Application No. 6842/2010. Four other co-accused, namely, Kastoor Chand, Girraj Meena, Rameshwar Meena and Rambilash Meena have also been extended the benefit of bail vide order dated 4.8.2010 passed in S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 7411/2010. The case of the present petitioner stands on better footing with that of Yaswant Kumar and atleast similar to those of other co-accused. On the other hand learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. However, he was not in a position to dispute the factual correctness of the submissions made above. Having regard to the submissions made at the bar, the nature of accusation against the petitioner, the materials collected so far during the course of investigation and all other facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant the indulgence of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. In the result, this bail application u/S.438 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of petitioner Radhey Shyam Lodha S/O Shri Balkishan Lodha in FIR No.10/2010, P.S. Anta, district Baran, he shall be released on bail by the concerned SHO/Investigating Officer, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with two sureties of Rs.15,000/- each to his satisfaction on the following conditions: - 1) that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; 2) that the petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or any police officer; and 3) that the petitioner shall not leave India without previous permission of the Court.
