JUDGMENT Dinesh Mehta, J. - This application for bail has been filed by the applicant under section 439 of the Cr.P.C. in connection with FIR No.74/2022, Police Station Mahila Thana, District Banswara for the offences under sections 3 and 4 of the Muslim women (Marriage Protection) Act, 2019. 2. Mr. Shambhoo Singh Rathore, learned counsel for the applicant argued that the maximum punishment prescribed for the offences alleged against the applicant is three years and the offence is triable by the Magistrate for which the applicant is behind bars since 02.10.2022. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and submitted that the charge-sheet has been proposed and the applicant may not be granted bail until the charge-sheet is filed. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering that the offences alleged against the applicant are triable by the Magistrate and maximum punishment provided is three years, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused-applicant under section 439 Cr.P.C, because the delay in filing charge-sheet, which is a fault of the Investigating Officer, cannot stifle rights of an accused. 5. Consequently, the bail application filed under section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed. The applicant Abdul Kadir S/o Shri Abdul Rehman arrested in connection with FIR No. 74/2022, Police Station Mahila Thana, District Banswara shall be released on bail on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the trial Court. 6. Applicant shall be required to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. 7. Needless to mention that the above observations made by this Court are on the basis of material so far produced before the Court. These are only prima-facie observations and the same shall however, not come in the way of the trial Court to take independent view of the matter, based on ocular and oral evidence, while finally deciding the case.
