Respondent (Cause title is taken from Case Information System) For Applicant : Mr. Amit Singh Chouhan, Advocate For Respondent/State : Mr. Amiat Verma, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 04/11/2025 1. This is first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNSS’) for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.162/2025 registered at Police Station-Mulmula, District - Janjgir-Champa (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(3), 115(2), 3(5), 109 of BNS, 2023. 2. The prosecution story in brief, is that complainant-Fuleshwari Bai Chauhan lodged the F.I.R. at P.S. Mulmula, Dist.- Janjgir-Champa (C.G.) on 13.06.2025 stating that one Mahesh @ Bundru Shrivas VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.11.07 10:46:26 +0530 VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.11.07 10:47:10 +0530 2 took her son namely Ajay Chauhan to get him some labour work and at about 04;30 P.M. she received a call from son of her sister-Manish Chauhan who informed her that her son was found in bloodshed and was beaten badly by Sonu Yadav and Ajay Nirmalkar near the Wine Shop situated at Vill- Nariyara, thereafter Manish Chauhan along with his friend took Ajay Chauhan on his motorcycle to the Government Hospital Akaltara and from there he was referred to Apollo Hospital Bilaspur. After questioning Ajay Chauhan, she got to know that on 13.06.2025 at about 04:00 P.M., he along with the applicant went to the Wine Shop situated at Vill-Nariyara, thereafter the co- accused/Sonu Nirmalkar and the applicant/Ajay Nirmalkar started using filthy language and injured him with hand & gloves and glass of liquor bottle because of some earlier dispute between them. On the basis of said report, the alleged offences have been registered against the applicant and co- accused Ajay Kumar Nirmalkar. Hence, this application. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case and the allegation levelled against the present applicant along with co- accused namely Ajay Nirmalkar was assaulted the injured with hand, fist and glass of liquor bottle due to some earlier dispute, as a result injured sustained multipal injuries on his chest. He also submits that there is no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 16.06.2025 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail 3 application and submits that there is no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. It is further submitted that multiple injuries sustained by the injured on his body and over the chest, which are grievous in nature and dangerous to life, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, charge-sheet has been filed against the applicant, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the fact that injury sustained by the injured are grievous in nature and dangerous to life, therefore, I am not inclined to allow this application. 7. Accordingly, the Third bail application of the applicant namely Sonu Yadav @ Dedhiya involved in Crime No.162/2025 registered at Police Station-Mulmula, District - Janjgir-Champa (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(3), 115(2), 3(5), 109 of BNS, 2023, is rejected at this stage. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith - Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaishali
