(1.) The petitioners have been arrested in connection with FIR No.18/2023 of Police Station Mahajan, District Bikaner for the offences punishable under Ss. 14/57, 19/54 and 19/54-A of the Rajasthan Excise Act. They have preferred this bail application under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. Mr. Ravinder Singh, cousin brother of petitioners, present-in- person, submits that the petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case. It is further submitted that offences are triable by the First Class Magistrate. The accused-petitioners are in judicial custody since long and the trial of the case will take long time.
(2.) Therefore, it is prayed that the accused-petitioners may be enlarged on bail. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused petitioners under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C.
(3.) Accordingly, the bail application filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioners, (1) Sandeep @ Teenu S/o Kali Ram, and (2) Mukesh @ Dahdu S/o Gaje Singh shall be released on bail in connection with FIR No.18/2023 of Police Station Mahajan, District Bikaner provided each of them executes a personal bond in a sum of Rs.1,00,000.00 with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.50,000.00 each, including one local surety, to the satisfaction of learned trial Court for their appearance before that Court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
