IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR ORDER S.B. CR. MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No.6420/2009 Ashok v/s State of Rajasthan Date : 20.8.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI Mr. Manoj Avasthi, for accused petitioner. Mr. Amit Punia, Public Prosecutor, for State. This order governs the disposal of bail petition filed under section 439 of Cr.P.C. by Mr. Manoj Avasthi Advocate on behalf of the applicant Ashok pertaining to FIR No.73/2006 of Police Station Basai-Daang, District Dholpur in the offence under section 395 of IPC. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the relevant material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has canvassed that the FIR has been lodged after an inordinate delay of five days. His name does not figure in the FIR. Co-accused persons namely Ulfi @ Kiledar @ Kamal Singh, Mukesh @ Mukke and Lakhan have already been enlarged on bail by the co-ordinate Bench. The case of the petitioner is similar to those of the co-accused persons. The petitioner has been in custody for quite a long time. The case is still pending trial which is likely to take time, as such, he may be granted indulgence of bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail petition. 5. Having considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the relevant material available on record, I, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, do feel inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and the bail petition is ordered to be allowed. 7. It is, therefore, ordered that the accused petitioner Ashok S/o Shri Vidhaya Ram in FIR No.73/2006 of Police Station Basai-Daang, District Dholpur, shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- together with two surety bonds each in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so till the trial is concluded.
