 [2023:RJ-JD:38000]                        (2 of 4)                    [CRLMB-4399/2023]


                   HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE FARZAND ALI

Order 06/11/2023

1. The jurisdiction of this court has been invoked by way of filing an application under Section 438 CrPC at the instance of accused-petitioners. The requisite details of the matter are tabulated herein below:

S.No.                           Particulars of the Case
     1.    FIR Number                                393/2022
     2.    Concerned Police Station                  Kankroli
     3.    District                                  Rajsamand
     4.    Offences alleged in the FIR               Sections 354, 292, 384, 120-
                                                     B IPC and Sections 67-A and
                                                     66-E of the IT Act
     5.    Offences added, if any                    -
     6.    Date   of    passing                of 12.04.2023
           impugned order


2.        Having      apprehension       of    being      arrested    in   the   afore-

mentioned matter, the petitioners have prayed for anticipatory bail on the ground that no case for the alleged offences is made out against them and their incarceration is not warranted. There are no factors at play in the case at hand that may work against grant of anticipatory bail to the accused-petitioners and they have been made an accused based on conjectures and surmises.

4. Contrary to the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application and submit that the present case is not fit for grant of anticipatory bail.

5. I have considered the submissions made by both the parties and have perused the material available on record. (Downloaded on 11/11/2023 at 08:34:07 PM) [2023:RJ-JD:38000] (3 of 4) [CRLMB-4399/2023]

6. Present one is not such a case, where custodial investigation from the petitioners would be required. An interim order was passed in favour of the petitioners on 24.04.2023 restraining their arrest in the present case, whereafter around 6 months have lapsed and the petitioners are enjoying the said protection since then and they have not misused the liberty or transgressed their limits during this period as no report in this regard has been received by this court. Thus, in light of the judgment rendered by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Abhishek Kumar Vs. State of Dehli (Criminal Appeal No.360/2022) reported in 2022/INSC/275, and considering the over all facts and circumstances of the case, it is deemed suitable to grant the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in the present matter. Needless to say, none of the observations made herein under shall affect the rights of either of the parties during trial and this Court refrains from commenting on the niceties of the matter.

7. Accordingly, the instant bail application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is allowed. The S.H.O/I.O/Arresting Officer of the concerned Police Station is directed that in the event of arrest of any of the petitioner in connection with the FIR, details of which have been given in tabular form above, he shall be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the S.H.O/I.O/Arresting Officer of the concerned Police Station on the following conditions:-

(i) that the petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required;

[2023:RJ-JD:38000] (4 of 4) [CRLMB-4399/2023]

(ii) 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

(iii) that the petitioner shall not leave India without previous permission of the court.
