LALJIBHAI ALIAS KALPESHBHAI RAJUBHAI RATHOD vs STATE OF GUJARAT THROUGH AGP BHAVNAGAR Advocate - AGP — 409/2026

Case Summary: CRMA/409/2026 Court Decision: The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bhavnagar granted regular bail to petitioner Laljibhai (alias Kalpesh) Rajubhai Rathod on March 16, 2026, after finding that a settlement had been reached between the accused and the complainant. The court determined that pre-trial conviction was a concern if the accused remained in custody, and bail conditions were imposed to ensure his appearance at trial. Key Reasoning: Although the accused faced serious charges under BNS 2023 (including criminal intimidation, house-breaking, robbery, and weapons violations), the court noted the complainant filed a no-objection petition for bail, indicating reconciliation between the parties. The accused was a permanent resident with family ties and posed no flight risk, justifying release on bail with stringent conditions including bimonthly police reporting and restrictions on leaving Gujarat.
