Order on Board 23.09.2025
1. This first anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No. 683/2025, registered at Police Station - Jaamul, District - Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections under Section 304(2) of BNS 2023. 2. As per the prosecution story on 13/08/2025 the applicant went to Jaamul Wine shop and there complainant was also present out of some previous transactions applicant was supposed receive money VAIBHAV SINGH Digitally signed by VAIBHAV SINGH Date: 2025.09.24 11:39:00 +0530
2 from the complainant and because of this reason the applicant physically assaulted the complainant. 3. The applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated by the complainant, having committed no offence against him. The complaint has been deliberately lodged to harass the applicant and to avoid returning money. Being the sole breadwinner of his family, which is entirely dependent on him, the applicant and his family are suffering due to this false criminal case, he works as a driver. The applicant has been falsely implicated solely based on the statements of the complainant, which are insufficient to impose criminal liability, and the police authorities have wrongly implicated him instead of taking action against the complainant. The ingredients of the alleged offences, including acts of beating or torturing, are not made out, and the applicant cannot be held liable. He is willing to abide by all directions and conditions imposed by this Hon’ble Court while granting bail and is a permanent resident of District Durg (C.G.), with no likelihood of absconding or tampering with evidence, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the anticipatory bail application of the present applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.
6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, the nature of the dispute, and the material available in the case diary, this Court, without expressing any
3 opinion on the merits, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant – G. Aditya Rao, on executing a personal bond and one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) he shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court. (b) he shall not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial. (c) he shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court till disposal of the trial. (d) the applicant and the surety shall submit a copy of his adhaar card along with a coloured postcard full size photo having printed the adhaar number on it, which shall be verified by the trial Court. (e) he shall not involve himself in any offence of similar nature in future. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) CHIEF JUSTICE Vaibhav
