Order on Board 23.01.2025
1. The applicant has preferred this Second bail application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 for grant of bail as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No.56 of 2021, registered at Police Station- Gole Bazar, Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 302,307 of the IPC amd Section 25 and 27 of the Arms Act,1925.
2.
Brief facts of this case are that on 19.07.2021 at around 21:30 an FIR was lodged at the instance of one Sumit Tandi at the
2 concerned police station alleging assault made by the present applicant on one Bhola with a knife at the Gole Bazar, Raipur, Chhattisgarh. During treatment the injured Bholla succumbed to the injuries and subsequently died, which led to addition of the Section 302 of the IPC, 1860 while filing the charge sheet.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant contended that, the applicant is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in the alleged crime, he has not committed any offence as alleged against him. He further contended that the eye witness and the seizure witness in the case have not supported the prosecution case and have turned hostile and in view of that, the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail. The applicant is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide all the directions and conditions which may be imposed by this Court while granting bail.
4. Per contra, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application submitted by the applicant.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the case and other materials available on record.
6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and further considering the nature of offence which iis very serious in nature, as the applicant has caused injury to the victim using a knife, and also to the fact that 12 witnesses have already
3 been examined and charge sheet has been filed. Therefore looking to the seriousness and gravity of the offence committed by the applicant and the circumstantial chain of evidence which clearly links him with the mentioned crime, this court finds that the present case is not a fit case for granting bail to the applicant.
7. Accordingly, the present MCRC deserves to be and is hereby rejected.
8. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information and compliance forthwith. sd/-
