Applicant versus State of Chhattisgarh Through Station House OfÏcer, Police Station- Mohan Nagar, District Durg (C.G.) … Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Ghanshyam Kashyap, Advocate. For Non-applicant/State : Ms. Ankita Shukla, Panel Lawyer. Hon’ble Shri Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 21.01.2025 1 The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No.388/2023, registered at Police Station – Mohan Nagar, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 307 and 294 of Indian Penal Code. 2 The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 10.09.2023, the complainant Smt. Saroj Thakur lodged report at Police Station, Mohan Nagar, Durg to the effect that on 10.09.2023 at about 7.30 PM, her son PREETI KUMARI Digitally signed by PREETI KUMARI Date: 2025.01.22 11:05:02 +0530 2 Mutarjar Roman Thakur and his friend were standing near car of applicant at Shramik Bhawan, Tiranga Chowk, Sikola Basti, Durg, upon which, the applicant abused them and also assaulted with injured Mutarjar Roman Thakur with the help of knife, due to which, the son of complainant has received injury on her leg and abdomen. On basis of said report, the offence under Sections 307 and 294 of IPC has been registered against the applicant and he has been arrested on 20.12.2023. 3 It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the applicant is said to applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife which hit him on abdomen, left thigh and left knee. He further submits that the injured (son of complainant) has not received any grievous hurt, which may cause death in ordinary course. The charge-sheet has been filed in this case and the applicant is in jail since 20.12.2023 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4 On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposed the bail application and submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed. He further submits that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife which hit him on abdomen, left thigh and left knee which were found to be grievous in nature and dangerous to life. Therefore, the applicant is not entitled to be released on bail. 5 I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents available on record. 6 Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact 3 that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife which hit him on abdomen, left thigh and left knee which were found to be grievous in nature and dangerous to life, I am not inclined to allow this application. 7 Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant - Vishal Gond @ Foote Bum involved in Crime No.388/2023, registered at Police Station – Mohan Nagar, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 307 and 294 of Indian Penal Code, is rejected at this stage. 8 Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9 OfÏce is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith.
