committed a serious crime of loot and assault on the complainant
and his son by firing with deshi katta and pistol. The present

accused was also a member of the team which assaulted the
complainant. the present petitioner-accused Vikram Singh was
driving the Hundai I-20 car by which accused persons reached the
spot. Accused Ajay Singh, Hanuman Singh, Bhupendra Singh and
Shaitan Singh came out of the car while accused Prem Singh and
Vikram Singh were sitting in the car. Accused Shaitan Singh and
Hanuman Singh were having Deshi Katta and pistol in their hands,
while accused Bhupendra was having a knife. Therefore, he prayed
that looking to the gravity of the offence, benefit of bail may not
be extended to the petitioner.
This Court finds that the present petitioner Vikram Singh was
driving the Hundai I-20 car by which accused persons reached the
spot and at the time of assault, the present petitioner Vikram
Singh was sitting in his car and no specific criminal act has been
attributed to him.
Having considered the rival submissions, facts and
circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on
merits/demerits of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the
petitioner on bail.
Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 of BNSS
(439 Cr.P.C.) is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner
Vikram Singh S/o Ishwar Prasad, arrested in connection with
F.I.R. No.104/2022, registered at Police Station Phalodi, District –
Jodhpur Rural (now District Phalodi), shall be released on bail, if
not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal
bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties of Rs.25,000/- each, to the
