As per the prosecution story in brief, is that on 25.06.2024, near Ghasidas Nagar Maidan, the complainant, Babu Soni, was standing with his friends Ranjeet Yadav, Krishna Choudhary, and Mukesh Yadav. At RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 that time, the co-accused arrived holding a knife and while verbally abusing the victim mother and sister over a prior dispute, attacked Mukesh Yadav with the knife, causing injuries to him. The allegation against the present applicant is that he has also assaulted the Victim with cutter which was alleged to be seized from the applicant.

Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that there were 3 accused persons including the applicant, but during the course of investigation, the complainant/injured has not deposed anything against the applicant, whereas, he has deposed against the 2 other accused persons. The applicant is in jail since 27.06.2024, and the conclusion of the trial shall take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 5.

As such, the bail application deserves to be rejected. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case, and from the perusal of the case-diary it transpires that a total of 3 accused persons are involved in the present case including the applicant, and the name of the applicant is mentioned in the FIR, and he has said to have assaulted the injured with a knife, due to which the injured has sustained injuries which are grievous in nature and dangerous to life, thus, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 8.
