S. Rathore For Respondent(s) : Mr. Surendra Bishnoi, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP SHAH Order 10/08/2026 1. The applicant has filed the present bail application under Section 483 of BNSS being aggrieved against the order dated 27. 05. 2026 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bhinmal, District Jalore in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 143/2026, whereby the bail application filed by the accused-applicant under Section 483 of B. N. S.
S. was rejected. The accused-applicant is behind the bars, pursuant to the F. I. R. No. 456/2025 registered at Police Station Bhinmal, District Jalore for the offence punishable under Section 309(6) of BNS. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the case is based upon circumstantial evidence and except for the alleged recovery of two ornaments and one purse belonging to the [2026:RJ-JP:37943] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-7323/2026] deceased, there is no other incriminating evidence against the applicant. He further submits that no specific allegation has been made against the applicant, nor has any weapon been recovered from his possession. Learned counsel further submits that none of the prosecution witnesses supported the version of the prosecution. Learned counsel further submits that applicant has been behind bars for a considerable period and that the trial of the case is likely to take a sufficiently long time.
Learned counsel, therefore, prays that the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-applicant. 3. Per contra, the learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application. 4. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned Public Prosecutor and perused the material available on record. 5. Having considered the arguments advanced by both sides and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, including the facts that the case in hand is based upon circumstantial evidence and except for the recovery of two ornaments and one purse belonging to the deceased, there is no other incriminating evidence against the applicant, no specific allegation has been made against the applicant, nor has any weapon been recovered from the applicant, the applicant is behind the bars since long and the trial of case is likely to take a considerable amount of time, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, is inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. 6.
Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 B. N. S. S. is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-applicant [2026:RJ-JP:37943] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-7323/2026] Panna Ram S/o Sh. Ganga Ram, arrested in connection with F. I. R. No. 456/2025 registered at Police Station Bhinmal, District Jalore shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- and two sureties of Rs. 25,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for his appearance before that court on each & every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial. 7. It is further, made clear that the findings recorded/observations made herein above are for limited purposes of adjudication of bail application and the same shall not prejudice the trial of the case in any manner.
