Regular Bail Granted In Criminal Case
The applicant filed a successive application for regular bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, in connection with the registered FIR, after the chargesheet had been filed. The applicant had been in custody since 09.09.2024. An earlier application had been withdrawn with liberty to apply afresh after a period of seven months.
- The investigation was complete and the chargesheet had been filed.
- In the interregnum, the other co-accused had been considered for grant of bail by the Court.
- The applicant had been in custody for a considerable period and undertook to abide by all conditions imposed by the Court.
The Court considered the facts of the case, the nature of the allegations and the role attributed to the applicant, together with the three factors settled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court — prima facie case, availability of the accused at the time of trial, and the possibility of tampering with witnesses.
The application was allowed. The applicant was ordered to be released on regular bail on executing a personal bond of Rs. 10,000/- with one surety of the like amount, subject to the following conditions:
- Shall not make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case, or tamper with the evidence.
