                                  ORDER

[1.0] RULE. Learned APP waives service of rule for the respondent-State.

[2.0] The present application is filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya
Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short “BNSS”) for regular bail in
connection with FIR being C.R. No.11821033220461 of 2022 registered with
Limdi Police Station, District Dahod for the offences punishable under
Sections 120(B), 302, 307, 325, 384, 323, 143, 147, 148, 149, 34, 504, 506(2)
and 341 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short “IPC”) and section 135 of
the Gujarat Police Act.

[3.0] Learned advocate appearing on behalf of the applicant submits that
applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the offence and now
nothing is required to be recovered or discovered. He therefore submits
that, considering the nature of the offence, the applicant may be enlarged
on regular bail by imposing suitable conditions.

[4.0] Learned APP appearing on behalf of the respondent-State has
opposed the present application and requested to dismiss the present
application for regular bail looking to the nature and gravity of the offence.

      R/CR.MA/11215/2026                                   ORDER DATED: 17/06/2026




[5.0] While granting bail, the Court has to consider the involvement of the
accused in the alleged offence, the jurisdiction to grant bail has to be
exercised on the basis of the well settled principles having regard to the
facts and circumstances of each case and the following factors are to be
taken into consideration while considering an application for bail: (i) the
nature of accusation and the severity of the punishment and the nature of
the materials relied upon by the prosecution; (ii) reasonable apprehension
of tampering with the witnesses and threat to the complainant or the
witnesses; (iii) reasonable possibility of securing the presence of the
accused at the time of trial or the likelihood of his abscondence; (iv)
character behaviour and standing of the accused and the circumstances
which are peculiar to the accused; (v) larger interest of the public or the
State and similar other considerations are required to be considered.

[6.0] I have heard the learned advocates appearing on behalf of the
respective parties and perused the investigation papers. Following aspects
have been considered:

(1)       The allegation against the applicant is that present applicant made
          an assault with iron pipe on hand and leg of the deceased Kalubhai
          Manubhai Bhabhor however, now the investigation is over and
          charge-sheet is filed;

(2)       Applicant is behind the bars since 13.11.2022;

(3)       There is nothing to be recovered or discovered from the applicant;

(4)       Similarly situated co-accused have already been considered by the
          coordinate Bench in the proceedings of CR.MA Nos.21566/2025 and
          4879/2026 on the ground of long incarceration and trial proceeding
          at snail’s pace and hence, applicant is entitled to get the benefit
          of parity in view of decision in the case of Ramesh Batukbhai
          Dabhi vs. State of Gujarat reported in 2011 (3) GLR 1150;


                                    Page 2 of 4
      R/CR.MA/11215/2026                                   ORDER DATED: 17/06/2026




(5)          Prosecution has failed to indicate any circumstance requiring further
             incarceration of the present applicant;

(6)          Obviously commencement and conclusion of trial will take some
             time.

[7.0] This Court has also taken into consideration the law laid down by the
Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Sanjay Chandra vs. Central Bureau of
Investigation reported in [2012]1 SCC 40 as well as in the case of
Gudikanti Narasimhulu And Ors vs. Public Prosecutor, High Court of
Andhra Pradesh reported in (1978)1 SCC 240. Obviously, the conclusion of
trial will take time and keeping the accused behind the bars is nothing but
amounts to pre-trial conviction and therefore, considering the celebrated
principle of bail jurisprudence is that “bail is a rule and jail is exception” as
well as the concept of personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the
Constitution of India, present application deserves consideration.

[8.0] In the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the nature
of the allegations made against the applicant in the FIR, without discussing
the evidence in detail, prima facie, this Court is of the opinion that this is a fit
case to exercise the discretion and enlarge the applicant on regular bail.
Hence, the present application is allowed. The applicant is ordered to be
released        on   regular   bail   in   connection   with    FIR    being         C.R.
No.11821033220461 of 2022 registered with Limdi Police Station, District
Dahod on executing a personal bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-five
Thousand only) with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the
trial Court and subject to the conditions that he shall;

       (a)      not take undue advantage of liberty or misuse liberty;

       (b)      not act in a manner injurious to the interest of the prosecution &
                shall not obstruct or hamper the police investigation and shall
                not to play mischief with the evidence collected or yet to be
                collected by the police;

       (e)     mark presence before the concerned Police Station once in a

               p.m.;

       (f)     furnish the UIDAI Number, Contact Number/s, Passport Number
               (if he is having the passport), E-mail address and present address
               of his residence to the Investigating Officer and also to the Court
               at the time of execution of the bond and shall not change the
               residence without prior permission of Trial Court;

       (h)     not to indulge in any illegal activity or any similar type of offence
               failing which concerned Investigating Officer shall have liberty to
               file an application for cancellation of bail against the present
               applicant.


[9.0] The authorities will release the applicant only if he is not required in
connection with any other offence for the time being. If breach of any of the
above conditions is committed, the Sessions Judge concerned will be free to
issue warrant or take appropriate action in the matter.

[10.0]            Bail bond to be executed before the lower Court having
jurisdiction to try the case. It will be open for the concerned Court to delete,
modify and/or relax any of the above conditions, in accordance with law.

[11.0]            At the trial, the trial Court shall not be influenced by the
observations of preliminary nature qua the evidence at this stage made by
this Court while enlarging the applicant on bail.

[12.0]            Rule is made absolute to the aforesaid extent. Direct service is
permitted.


                                                                      (HASMUKH D. SUTHAR, J.)
