JUDGMENT Devendra Kachhawaha, J. - The present bail application has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. on behalf of the petitioner, who is in judicial custody in connection with F.I.R. No.32/2022, Police Station Siwana, District Barmer, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 420, 406 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Heard and considered arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that offences are triable by Magistrate; petitioner is a helper; money has been deposited in the bank account of co-accused Ganpat Ram (driver of the alleged vehicle); petitioner is behind the bars since 10.02.2022; no recovery or investigation is pending against the petitioner; and trial will take time. With these submissions, learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that the benefit of bail may be granted to the petitioner. 4. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application of the accused-petitioner and stated that Rs. 1,78,870/- have been deposited in the bank account of co-accused Ganpat Ram. 5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly looking to the facts that offences are triable by the First Class Magistrate; further investigation and trial will take sufficiently long time, therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, this Court is of the opinion that the bail application filed by the petitioner deserves to be accepted. 6. Consequently, the bail application is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner, Ladu Ram S/o Shri Puna Ram, arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.32/2022, Police Station Siwana, District Barmer, shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case; provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- with two surety bonds of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
