For Respondent/State : Shri Malay Jain, PL. Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order On Board 17/03/2025 1. The applicant has preferred this application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNSS’), for grant of anticipatory bail, apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.60/2025, registered at Police Station Bilha, District GOURI MUDALIAR Digitally signed by GOURI MUDALIAR Date: 2025.03.19 11:25:39 +0530 2 Bilaspur (C.G.) for alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 74, 75(2), 78(2), 333, 296, 351(3), 115(2) of BNS. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that an FIR was made at Police Station: Bilha, Bilaspur on 10.02.2025 alleging that the applicant on 17.01.2025 entered the Sports shop of victim's brother where she was sitting with him. The applicant allegedly held the shoulders of victim who was intercepted by her brother and driven out of their shop. The applicant also abused them and intimidated them. Later, on 07.02.2025 the applicant allegedly made phone call to father-in-law to-be of victim and talked to him in filthy language and thereby intimidated him asking him not to marry his son to present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that incident happened on 17.01.2025 and 07.02.2025 but the same was not reported. He would submit that there is delay in FIR which raise serious doubt in the prosecution story. He would submit that no phone number is mentioned in the FIR from which alleged phone call was made to the father-in-law to be of victim. The applicant has been falsely implicated only on the basis of suspicion as father of victim had previous enmity with the present applicant. Hence he prays to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the nature of allegation and after having perused the statement of the victim under section 183 of BNS there are serious allegation have been leveled against the applicant for harassing the victim time and again, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant - Satyprakash, involved in Crime No.60/2025, registered at Police Station Bilha, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 74, 75(2), 78(2), 333, 296, 351(3), 115(2) of BNS is rejected.
