For Respondent/State : Shri Malay Jain, PL. Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 10/06/2025 1. This is the second bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.23/2025 registered at Police Station Sakti, District- Janjgir GOURI MUDALIAR Digitally signed by GOURI MUDALIAR Date: 2025.06.11 17:18:19 +0530 2 Champa for the offence punishable under Sections 115(2), 331(2) and 74 of B.N.S. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that complainant/victim has made written report alleging that applicant has entered victim's room at around 4:30 morning on 21.01.2025 at village 'Karrapali' and committed physical assault upon victim, that on making alarm the husband who intervened the incident, and based on such report the offences under Sections 115(2), 331(2) and 74 of B.N.S. have been registered by the police against the applicant, while arresting him on 21.01.2025, in Crime No. 23/2025. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that this is the second bail application of the applicant and the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court on 10/03/2025. He would submit that complainant has turned hostile, the applicant is in jail since 21/01/2025, therefore, he prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. From perusal of the records, it transpires that this is the second bail application of the applicant and first bail application of the applicant was rejected on merits by this Court vide order dated 10/03/2025 in MCRC No.1183/2025. Further the fact that the 3 complainant though have turned hostile goes to show that applicant entered into tampering of evidence, therefore I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the second bail application of the applicant- Prakash Das Mahant, involved in Crime No.23/2025 registered at Police Station Sakti, District- Janjgir Champa for the offence punishable under Sections 115(2), 331(2) and 74 of B.N.S is rejected. 8. Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information. the trial Court concerned for necessary information and co th Sd/-dthe tr (Ramesh Sinha) CHIEF JUSTICE gouri
