Girwai, District Gwalior (M.P.) ... Petitioner(s) versus 1 - State Of Chhattisgarh Through Police Station Purani Basti, District Raipur Chhattisgarh ---Non-applicants For applicants : Mr. Sourabh Sharma, along with Mr. Saurabh Gupta Advocate For-Non-applicant : Ms. Upasana Mehta, Dy. G. A. Hon’ble Shri Arvind Kumar Verma, Judge Order on Board 12/09/2025 1. The applicant has preferred this Second Bail Application under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. in connection with Crime No. 323/2024, registered at Police Station Purani Basti, Raipur Chhattisgarh for the offences punishable under Sections 384 of IPC and Section 67, 67(a), 67(b) of IT Act and Section 15 of POCSO Act. 2. Earlier bail application was withdrawn by the learned counsel for applicant on 06.01.2025 in MCRC No. 8343/2024. Digitally signed by JYOTI JHA Date: 2025.09.15 10:55:00 +0530 2 3. The prosecution story in brief is that a report was lodged by the father of the victim for extortion of money of Rs. 1,50,000/- by the applicant from her daughter alleging that if she failed to pay the amount, her edited photo/pictures will be sent to her school and other friends, relatives and has threatened to viral the photos, On the basis of the said complaint and FIR has been registered and the applicant has been arrested on 10.08.2024 for the aforesaid sections. 4. It was argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the second bail application has been filed on behalf of applicant only on the ground of detention of applicant as the applicant is languishing in jail since 10.08.2024. He further submits that the victim has got examined before the learned Sessions Court on 04.04.2025 and has turned hostile and not supported the case of the prosecution and till date the trial has not been concluded. There are total 12 witnesses in this case, three witnesses have been examined, but till date only two witnesses have been examined, so looking to the detention period of applicants, therefore he prays for considering the case of the applicant for grant of bail. 5. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that there is ample evidence on record to connect the appellant with commission of the offence. For which, the applicant has not given any plausible explanation, therefore, the bail application is liable to be dismissed. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary produced by the learned counsel for the State. 3 7. Considering the nature and gravity of the offence and further considering the fact of the case, I do not find any change of circumstances to reconsider this repeat application for grant of bail and to release the applicant on bail, therefore, at this stage, the aforesaid bail application of applicant is rejected. 8. However, this Court hope and trust that the trial Court shall make an earnest endeavour to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible within a period of 6 months, if there is no legal impediment. 9. Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) Judge Jyoti
