The applicants has preferred this application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of Anticipatory Bail, apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No. 01/2025, registered at Police Station – Madanwada District – Mohla Manpur- Ambagarh Chowki (C.G.) for the alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 296,351(2),308(2), 318(4) & 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 2. As per the prosecution alleges that during the 2022 tendupatta season, the applicants fraudulently formed a committee, lured villagers, got fake labour cards made, and forcibly collected Rs. 200 per card as a so- called "Naxalite commission" and Rs. 1000 for tendu leaf collection, amounting to over Rs. 8.90 lakhs. They failed to pay workers for leaf collection, storage, and transport, and stored the leaves in a temporary warehouse in Khedegaon. When villagers demanded payment, they were threatened and some were beaten. On 20/02/25, the applicants held a village meeting where they threatened to restrict sand distribution and misbehaved with villagers who questioned them about the Naxalites. Over the years, they are alleged to have amassed personal assets through such illegal collections. Based on statements from numerous villagers, an FIR under Sections 296, 351(2), 308(3)(5), and 318(4) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, has been registered against them. 3. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits no offence has been committed by the applicants and have been implicated in the above mentioned crime just on the basis of 3 / 3 suspicion and all the allegations levelled against the applicants are false and fabricated. He further submits that due to old village rivalry due to political pressure and benefits a false crime has been registered in police station Madanwada there is a strong possibility of them being arrested in a false case. The applicant’s have not committed any criminal act under the above mentioned section, therefore, on the ground of parity, heprays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission made by the learned counsel for the applican 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence and material available on record in the case diary, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants. 7. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application of the applicants – Ramjiram Tulav, Shyamsingh Tulavi, Dinesh Usendi & Govind Singh Walko, involved in Crime No. 01/2025, registered at Police Station – Madanwada District – Mohla Manpur- Ambagarh Chowki (C.G.) for the alleged commission of offence punishable under Sections 296,351(2),308(2),318(4) & 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, is rejected.
