Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench) Grants Bail under Section 483 BNSS in Alleged Online Siphoning Case
Case Title: Tahir S/o Late Shri Illiyas v. State of Rajasthan
Date of Judgment: 06.12.2025
The Rajasthan High Court, Jaipur Bench, in S.B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 14032/2025, decided on 06 December 2025 by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sameer Jain, considered a bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS). The accused–applicant, Tahir S/o Late Shri Illiyas, aged about 40 years and resident of Ward No. 4, Meo Mohalla, Barodameo, District Alwar, was at the time of hearing confined in Central Jail, Alwar. The case arose out of FIR No. 248/2025 registered at Police Station Baroda Meo, District Alwar.
As per the order, the FIR was registered for offences under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 112(2), 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS) and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, 2008. The prosecution case, as recorded in the bail order, related to an allegation of siphoning an amount of ₹57,000/- by using a bank account on the basis of commission. The applicant had been arrested in connection with this FIR and remained in judicial custody since 30.09.2025.
On behalf of the accused–applicant, learned counsel submitted before the Court that the applicant is the sole bread earner of his family. It was further pointed out that he had been in custody since 30 September 2025 and that the investigation in the matter had culminated in filing of the charge-sheet. Reliance was placed on these factual circumstances to urge that continued incarceration of the applicant was not warranted and that he may be enlarged on bail in the pending criminal proceedings arising out of FIR No. 248/2025.
The learned Public Prosecutor, appearing for the State of Rajasthan, opposed the bail application. The order records that the State resisted the plea for bail and prayed for rejection of the application, without detailing any additional factual assertions beyond the offences mentioned in the FIR and the nature of allegations already noted.
After hearing both sides, the Court considered “the overall facts” of the case. While doing so, the Court specifically took note of three key circumstances: first, that the applicant is the sole bread earner of his family; second, that he has remained in custody since 30.09.2025; and third, that the charge-sheet has already been filed in the matter. Having regard to these points and the overall facts and circumstances, the Court recorded that, without commenting upon the merits or demerits of the case, it was inclined to enlarge the accused–applicant on bail.
Consequently, the bail application filed under Section 483 BNSS was allowed. The High Court ordered that the accused–applicant Tahir S/o Late Shri Illiyas be released on bail, subject to his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of ₹50,000/- along with two sureties of ₹25,000/- each, to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge. The applicant was directed to appear before the concerned court on all dates of hearing as and when called upon to do so. With these conditions, the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court granted bail to the applicant in connection with FIR No. 248/2025 registered at Police Station Baroda Meo, District Alwar.
