Petitioner versus 1 - State Of Chhattisgarh Through The Sho, Police Station- City Kotwali, Mungeli, District Mungeli, Chhattisgarh. ... Respondent For Petitioner : Mr. Siddharth Pandey, Advocate For Respondent : Mr. Atanu Ghosh, Dy. G.A. Hon’ble Shri Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal, J. Order on board 13.01.2025. 1. This is the third bail application of the applicant Golu @ Ramkhilawan Sahu. The first bail application of the applicant has been dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to repeat the same after examination of the material witnesses vide order dated 21/06/2024 passed in MCRC No. 3928/2024. The second bail application of the applicant was again dismissed on 01/10/2024 passed in MCRC No. 6782/2024 after considering that only 2 three witnesses were examined till 01/10/2024 and some of the material witnesses were yet to be examined at that time. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the victim Kuleshwar Sahu who has been examined as PW/1 has not supported the prosecution’s case and has turned hostile. Out of 21 witnesses cited by the prosecution, only 14 witnesses have been examined till date and final adjudication of the case will take its own time, therefore, he has filed this third bail application. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant and would submit that out of four victims, except Kuleshwar Sahu other three victims have supported the prosecution’s case and out of 21 witnesses, 14 witnesses have already been examined and trial is in progress and therefore, he is not entitled for bail. 4. Considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, considering the fact that two bail applications of the present applicant have been dismissed vide order 21/06/2024 and 01/10/2024, further that the trial is in progress and 14 witnesses have been examined, I am not inclined to admit the present third bail application of the applicant. 5. Consequently, the third bail application of the applicant is dismissed at the motion stage itself. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Sagrika
