1. The accused/applicant has moved this first bail application under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No. 105/2024 registered at Police Station – Khairagarh, District – Khairagarh-Chuikhadan-Gandai (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 450, 302, 201 of IPC.

2. The allegation against the applicant is that on the date of offence i.e. 15.03.2024, at about 08:00 am, the applicant assaulted the mother, namely Milvantin Bai of complainant Jitendra Ghore, while she was staying alone in her house. Further, it is alleged that there was a dispute between the present applicant and the deceased in respect of the allegation of Tonhi. Based on this offence has been registered against the applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. He next submits that there is nothing against the applicant except memorandum statement of the applicant. He also submits that the applicant is in jail since 15.03.2024, only 8 witnesses out of 24 witnesses have been examined till date, and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in the near future, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that the applicant committed a heinous crime of murder. She also submits that there is a seizure of a hair of the applicant from the nail of the deceased; therefore, at this stage, he 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 applicant, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the applicant 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)
