The accused/applicant has moved this first bail application under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 for releasing them on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No. 23/2023 registered at Police Station – Dharamjaigarh, Digitally signed by HEERA LAL SAHU Date: 2025.06.17 10:41:36 +0530 2 District – Raigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 302 & 201 of IPC. 2. The allegation against the applicants is that on the date of offence i.e. 22.01.2023, both the applicants, with their common intention, committed the murder of Sabal Sai Manjhi with the help of a wooden stick and rope. It is also alleged that they have eluded the evidence to screen from the offence. Based on this offence has been registered against the applicants. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the present case. He next submits that the material witness have been examined and they have turned hostile. He also submits that the applicants are in jail since 24.01.2023, only 2 witnesses out of 16 witnesses have been examined till date, and there is no likelihood of their case being decided in the near future, therefore, the present applicants may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that there are three eye witness in this case and the applicants committed a heinous crime of murder, therefore, at this stage, they may not be enlarged on bail. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly looking to the material available on record and the evidence against the applicants, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the applicants on bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023, is rejected. 7. However, the concerned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible. 8. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge H.L. Sahu
