Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 22.03.2025 at about 09 PM after completion of gym work, the complainant namely Monu Sahu was sitting in his Scorpio Car in front of Gym then the present applicant namely Sushant Singh @ Anshu attempt to commit murder by knife after opening opposite side gate of Scorpio Car due to which the complainant received injury in his hand thereafter the complainant was trying to ran away then another co-accused Lalit Soni assaulted to the complainant by iron rod and Lalla Yadav, Satyam Singh also attacked by fighter gloves upon the complainant and thereafter other co-accused persons Navneet Tiwari, Mukesh Yadav, Prem Maratha, Niket Choudhary and others were chasing to the complainant with rod, belt and sharp weapons. The complainant entered in the bathroom and closed the door from inside of bathroom. It is also alleged that complainant was threatened by accused persons to commit murder therefore the complainant made written complaint to the Police Station, Ambikapur for lodging FIR against the accused persons.
4.
Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and they have been falsely implicated in the present case. He would submit that there was simple quarrel between the complainant and the applicants though the applicants have not assaulted to the complainant but the complainant has falsely made allegation against
3 the present applicants, therefore he prays to enlarge the applicants on anticipatory bail.
5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.
6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.
7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, also considering the nature of allegation against the present applicants that applicant No.2 Sushant Singh @ Anshu tried to commit murder of complainant by knife, applicant No.1 Satyam Singh also attacked the complainant by fighter gloves and applicant No.3 Navneet Tiwari along with other co-accused persons were chasing the complainant with rod, belt and sharp weapons and the fact that investigation is still going on, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants.
8. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application of the applicant No.1 Satyam Singh, applicant No.2 Sushant Singh and applicant No.3 Navneet Tiwari, involved in Crime No.202/2025, registered at Police Station Kotwali, Ambikapur, District: Surguja (C.G.) for alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(3), 191(2), 191(3), 190, 109 of B.N.S., 2023 is rejected.
