 CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ILESH J. VORA

                             Date : 03/06/2026
                               ORAL ORDER


1.      Rule. Learned APP waives service of Rule on behalf of
        respondent State.


2.      The applicant, by way of this application filed under Section
        483 of the BNSS, seeks regular bail in connection with the FIR
        being C.R. No. 11203025260100 of 2026 registered with
        Junagadh Taluka Police Station, Dist. Junagadh, for the
        offences punishable under Sections 305(A), 331(3), 331(4),
        317(4), 317(5) and 54 of BNS.


3.      It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that he
        is   suffering    confinement    since   06.03.2026.      He    further
        submitted that the applicant has not played any vital role in the
        alleged offence. Hence, further detention of the applicant is
        unwarranted.


4.      Learned APP has opposed the bail application contending that,


                                   Page 1 of 3
     R/CR.MA/12380/2026                                      ORDER DATED: 03/06/2026




        considering the conduct of the applicant and nature of
        accusation, the discretion may not be exercised in favour of the
        applicant.


5.      Having heard the learned counsel for the respective parties and
        upon perusal of the material placed on record, it appears that
        the applicant, a lady accused, had not participated in the
        alleged offence. The only role attributed to her is that she had
        mortgaged the stolen ornaments with a goldsmith and, after
        paying the outstanding amount, sold it to a third party. In such
        circumstances,     having    regard       to   the   peculiar     facts    and
        circumstances of the present case and upon imposing stringent
        conditions, I am inclined to exercise discretion in favour of the
        applicant, as keeping the applicant behind bars would not serve
        any useful purpose. Hence, the bail application is allowed.
                In such circumstances, considering the role attributable
        to present applicant herein and evidence in support of charge,
        without commenting on merits of the matter, I deemed it fit to
        release the applicant on bail. Hence, present application is
        allowed.


6.      Hence, the applicant is ordered to be released on regular bail in
        connection with the FIR being C.R. No. 11203025260100 of
        2026 registered with Junagadh Taluka Police Station, Dist.
        Junagadh, on executing a personal bond of Rs.10,000/-
        (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with one surety of the like amount
        to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court and subject to the
        conditions that he shall:


         No.                           Conditions
         (a)    not take undue advantage of liberty or misuse liberty;

                       of the bond and shall not change the residence

                       Station, if any.




7.       The authorities shall release the applicant if he is not required in
         connection with the any other offence. If breach of any above
         condition is committed, the Sessions Judge concerned shall take
         appropriate action or issue warrant against the applicant. The
