1. This is the third 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.295/2024 registered at Police Station Masturi, Dist: Bilaspur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Sections 452, 294, 506(2),307, 34 of IPC. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the complainant Varsha Rani GOURI MUDALIAR Digitally signed by GOURI MUDALIAR Date: 2025.06.16 17:45:46 +0530
2 Rathore reported to Masturi Police Station on 24.07.2024, that her father and six others were imprisoned for murder. Since then, she lived in a rented house in Korba with her three children and mother. On the day of the incident, she was at home with her family when accused Aman Ratre, Ravishankar Suman, Babulal Suman, and Parvati Suman gathered near her house. Aman, intoxicated, entered her home with a sharp edged weapon i.e. axe and attacked her child, Om Rathore, inflicting severe head injuries. Varsha intervened, grabbing the axe, and her daughter Rajrani helped her escape with Om. They dialed 112 and reported the incident. Based on Varsha's report, accused Aman Ratre, Ravishankar Suman, Babulal Suman, and Parvati Suman were charged under IPC Sections 452, 294, 506, 307, and 34 and were arrested. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that this is the third bail application of the applicant and the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court on 23/10/2024 in MCRC No.7393/2024 and second bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court on 8/01/2025 in MCRC No.85/2025. He would submit that PW-1 Raj Rani Rathore elder sister of the complainant in her statement has stated that she was holding the child of the complainant in her arms and she collided with the door and fell down with the child and the child namely Om Rathore received injury.
He would further submit that the applicant is in jail since 25/06/2024 and trial is likely to take some time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application. 3
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 third bail application of the applicant and the first bail application of the applicant was rejected on merits by this Court on 23/10/2024 in MCRC No.7393/2024 and second bail application of the applicant was also rejected on merits by this Court on 8/01/2025 in MCRC No.85/2025. The submission which is made that PW-1 Raj Rani Rathore elder sister of the complainant in her statement has stated that she was holding the child of the complainant in her arms and she collided with the door and fell down with the child and the child namely Om Rathore received injury, it cannot be a ground to entertain this third bail application. 7. Accordingly, the third bail application of the applicant- Aman Ratre, involved in Crime No.295/2024 registered at Police Station Masturi, Dist: Bilaspur (C.G) for the offence punishable under Sections 452, 294, 506(2),307, 34 of IPC. 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
