The applicant has preferred this 1st bail application under Section 483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita Act 2023 for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with crime No. 92/2024, registered at Police Station – Bishrampur, District- Surajpur (C.G.) for offence punishable under Sections 302 of IPC. 2. The prosecution story, in short, is that the complainant, Vikram Rajwade, lodged a written report stating that on 12.04.2024, at around 03:10 a.m., his father had left the house, stating over the phone that he was going to collect wild herbs. At around 07:00 a.m., Shankar Rajwade, a resident of their village Datima, informed him over the phone that his father was found lying dead near Karanji Railway Siding SHUBHAM SINGH RAGHUVANSHI Digitally signed by SHUBHAM SINGH RAGHUVANSHI Date: 2025.07.08 11:41:53 +0530 2 on the Karanji-Jhumarpara Road, with his throat slit and profuse bleeding, and the motorcycle fallen over him. Upon receiving the information, the complainant immediately proceeded to the spot along with his uncle Vishnu, where they found his father, Sukul Sai, lying dead with his throat slit and blood oozing out. It was alleged that some unknown person had murdered him by slitting his throat. During the course of investigation, it was found that the offence had been committed by applicant Vikram Rajwade himself. Based on above, offence has been registered against the applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. The seizure witness of the case has been turned hostile. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 14.04.2024, out of 21 prosecution witnesses only 7 have been examined till date and the trial is likely to take time to be finalized, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application and submits that the weapon used in the crime i.e. Tangi, has been sized from the applicant and in FSL report, human blood was found on the said weapon, therefore, at this stage, the applicant may not be released on bail. 5. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicants and the nature of offence, at this stage, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is Rejected. However, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible.
