[4] S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No.9655/2025 (Vijendra @ Kidiya Vs. State of Rajasthan) 1. The instant bail application under Section 483 B.N.S.S. has been filed by accused-applicant Vijendra @ Kidiya in connection with FIR No.211/2024 registered at P.S. Gogamedi, District Hanumangarh for offence under Sections 103 (1), 115(2), 126(2), 191(2), 190, 331(8), 191(3), 109(1), 118(2), 127(2) of B.N.S., 2023 and Section 4 /25 of Arms Act, against the rejection order dated 16.7.2025 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge No.2, Nohar, District Hanumangarh in Criminal Misc.

Counsel further submits that even if what has been taken to be true, it was simply a petty dispute regarding sharing/exchange of cot between the petitioner and the deceased. He, therefore, submitted that in view of the statement of material witnesses as recorded by the trial court he deserves to be enlarged on bail by this Court. 5.

He, therefore, submitted that in view of the statement of material witnesses as recorded by the trial court he deserves to be enlarged on bail by this Court. 5. Learned Public Prosecutor strongly argued and opposed the bail application and submitted that the FIR as well as the detailed conclusion as recorded by the Investigating Officer specifically names present petitioner Vijendra @ Kidiya and his brother Jaideep JD. This petitioner was armed with Knife and caused stab wounds to the deceased, on account of which, he died. Once there is a specific overt act mentioned in the FIR and the conclusion of the Investigating Officer in the charge-sheet, in such circumstance, the petitioner is not entitled to be enlarged on bail. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused complete charge-sheet and the statements of material witnesses as recorded by the trial court. 7. This Court noted that prima facie entire incident was of petty nature, however, the conclusion as recorded by Investigating Officer shows serious and active involvement of present petitioner alongwith his brother, who came armed with deadly weapons and caused serious injuries to the deceased. The post-mortem report dated 16.9.2024 shows stab wounds on account of which the deceased died. 8. This Court takes note of the fact that detailed conclusion cannot be ignored noticing serious conduct of the petitioner as well as his brother. As far as the statement of material witnesses are concerned, this Court noted that though these witnesses have been declared hostile as they denied story of the prosecution but the circumstances of the case; the injuries as suffered by the deceased and the presence of petitioner has not been disputed. Therefore, in such circumstance, this Court is not inclined the enlarge the present petitioner-Vijendra @ Kidiya on bail. 9. Consequently, the bail application filed by the petitioner Vijendra @ Kidiya is dismissed. Note : It is made clear that the observations made herein in no manner shall prejudice the proceedings of ongoing trial pending before the trial court.
