The accused-petitioners have been arrested in connection with FIR No. 119/2023 registered at Police Station Mehandipur Balaji District Dausa for the offences under Section 379 of IPC. 2. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioners submits that the accused-petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case. It is contended that petitioners have deposited the amount imposed by learned trial court for the proceedings initiated under Section 446 Cr.P.C. The accused-petitioners are in custody since 15.01.2026 and the trial of the case may take considerable time, therefore, the bail application of the accused-petitioner may be allowed. [2026:RJ-JP:18000] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-5368/2026] 3. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application and contended that petitioners remained absent twice during trial. The bail bonds of Petitioner Lakhan @ Changa were forfeited on 04.09.2023 and he was declared absconded on 03.04.2024 and again granted liberty of bail, however again his bail bonds were forfeited on 31.07.2025 and was declared absconded on 30.08.2025 subsequently the petitioner's bail bonds for the third time were forfeited on 09.12.2025 and was declared absconder. Similarly the bail bonds of Petitioner Jitendra @ Jeetu were forfeited on 29.10.2024 and he was declared absconded on 30.08.2025, again granted liberty of bail, however again his bail bonds were forfeited on 09.12.2025 and was declared absconded on 15.01.2026 and standing warrant was issued against him. It is also contended that petitioners are habitual offender and their conduct dis-entitle them for any leverage, therefore, considering the above facts, their bail application deserves to be dismissed. 4. Heard and perused the material available on record. 5. Considering the fact that the case pertains to the year 2023 and the matter is exclusively triable by Magistrate. Petitioners have deposited the amount imposed by learned trial court under Section 446 Cr.P.C. The accused-petitioners are in custody since 15.01.2026 and the trial of the case may take considerable time, without commenting anything on the merits of the case , I deem it just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioners on bail. 6. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 483 BNSS is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner s 1. Lakhan [2026:RJ-JP:18000] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-5368/2026] @ Changa S/o Jaylal, 2.
