3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that accused-
appellant has falsely been implicated in this case. It is also
submitted that co-accused Gheesa Lal and Gopal Lal have already
been enlarged on bail vide order dated 08.07.2025 and 05.03.2025
in SB Criminal Appeal(SB) No.897/2024 and 305/2025 respectively.
It is also submitted that accused-appellant is in judicial custody since
long and the trial of the case will take long time. Lastly, learned
counsel submits that learned Special Judge, Scheduled Caste /
Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Chittorgarh has
grossly erred in law and facts as well in declining to release the
appellant on bail. Therefore, it is prayed that the benefit of bail may
be granted to the accused-appellant.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer
for bail.
5. Having regard to the entirety of facts and circumstances as
available on record and upon a consideration of the arguments
advanced at the bar, this Court is of the opinion that the order
rejecting the application for bail filed on behalf of the appellants,
cannot be sustained and deserves to be set aside.
6. Consequently, the instant appeal is allowed. The impugned
order dated 30.05.2025 passed by learned Special Judge, Scheduled
Caste / Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Cases, Chittorgarh
is set aside. It is ordered that the accused-appellant Naresh Kumar
@ Naresh S/o Ramchandra arrested in connection with FIR
No.138/2024 Police Station Bengu, District Chittorgarh shall
be released on bail; provided he furnishes a personal bond of
Rs.1,00,000/- and two surety bonds of Rs.50,000/- each to the
satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation to appear
