    Case Summary: CR.MA/13503/2026 The Gujarat High Court allowed Pritesh @ Sonu Maheshbhai Panchal's bail application in a theft case registered at Valsad Railway Police Station under Sections 305(c), 54, and 317(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The court found that while the applicant was accused of receiving stolen property (wallet, iPhone, SIM cards worth Rs. 81,500), no specific role was attributed to him in the actual theft, investigation was complete with chargesheet filed, and no recovery was required. Justice Hasmukh D. Suthar granted regular bail on a personal bond of Rs. 25,000 with one surety of equal amount, subject to conditions including monthly police station reporting, travel restrictions within Gujarat, and non-interference with investigation, applying the principle that "bail is a rule and jail is exception."
