Hence, this application. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that the first bail application of the applicant was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 17.08.2016 passed in MCRC No. 3068/2016, second bail application of the applicant was dismissed for want of prosecution vide order dated 19.07.2017 passed in MCRC No. 4785/2017, and the third bail application of the applicant was allowed by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017, and after being granted bail by this Court the applicant due to the stone in kidney of the applicant he 3 was out of station for treatment on the date of hearing on 24.07.2027, he did not appear before the trial Court on the said date, therefore the arrest warrant was issued against the applicant and the applicant was arrested, and this is the Fourth Bail application. The applicant was arrested on 07.03.2025 and the trial is likely to take some time for its conclusion. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case before the competent Court. He further submits that after being granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017, the applicant has jumped the bail and he was arrested on 07.03.2025 after an arrest warrant was issued against him by the learned trial Court.

Therefore, the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, nature & gravity 4 of the offence, material available in the case dairy and the fact that after being granted bail by this Court vide order dated 30.08.2017 passed in MCRC No.5049/2017, the applicant has jumped the bail and he was arrested on 07.03.2025 after an arrest warrant was issued against him by the trial Court, further the fact that there is another criminal case registered against the applicant bearing Crime No. 315/2015, registered at Out Post Rampur, P.S. - Kotwali, District – Korba, and in the said case the applicant has also jumped the bail, for which the applicant has moved an application before this Court for grant of bail bearing MCRC No. 3208/2025 and the same has been rejected today, and if the applicant would be granted bail, there is every likelihood that the applicant will abscond again, as such, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the instant Fourth bail application of applicant - Mukesh Yadav, involved in Crime No. 309/2015, registered at Police Station City Kotwali, District – Korba (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 419, 420, 468, 471, 120-B and 201 of the IPC, is rejected. 8.
