It is submitted that the applicants are in jail since 14.09.2024, and the conclusion of the trial shall take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, opposes the bail application and submits that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife on his abdomen, due to which he sustained penetrating injuries, and the injuries sustained to the injured are grievous in nature, and dangerous to life. As such, the bail application deserves to be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the applicant is said to have assaulted the injured with knife on his abdomen, due to which he sustained penetrating injuries, and the injuries sustained to the injured are grievous in nature, and dangerous to life, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicants on regular bail. 3 7. Accordingly, this bail application of applicant – Dinesh Thanapati involved in Crime No. 72/2024 registered at Police Station – Balouda, District – Mahasamund (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 109 of the BNS and Section 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, is rejected at this stage. 8.
