Later on, Section 118(1) of B.N.S. was also added. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case.

No ingredients of the offence under Sections 115(2), 118(1), 296, 3(5), 351(2) B.N.S. are present so far as the case of the applicant is concerned. Charge-sheet has not been filed and trial is likely to take considerable time.

Accordingly, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the bail application of present applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence, material available on record in the case diary, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant Rajinder Singh, involved in Crime No.40/2025 registered at Police Station Aarakshi Kendra Amanaka, District-Raipur(C.G.) for the alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 115(2), 118(1), 296, 3(5), 351(2) B.N.S., 2023, is rejected.
