Hon’ble Shri Justice Arvind Kumar Verma, Judge Order on Board 27/11/2025
1. The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under
2 Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 61/2025, registered at Police Station Komakhan, District- Mahasamund (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 103(1), 238(A), 140(A), 308(4), 309(6), 3(5) of BNS, 2023. 2. The prosecution story in brief, is that, on 09.05.2025 an information has been given by Village Kotwar Jeetram Sonwani of Village- Kasekera with the averment that a dead body of unknown person is lying in the field of Atmaram Pande, whose hand and mouth is tied with Tape so on the basis of said information a merg No. 13/2025 is registered and the inquest panchnama is prepared by the Police during Merg inquiry it was informed that one Manas Tripathi of Shivshakti Nagar Nuapada is missing from 08.05.2025 so the family members were called who identified the dead body as Manas Ranjan Tripathi. 3. It was argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. There is no eye witness of the case and the prosecution case is based on the circumstantial evidence though the chain of circumstances is not completed. The present applicant is implicated in the present case only on the basis of memorandum of co-accused. The applicant is in jail since 12.05.2025 and conclusion of the trial will take some time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposes the bail
3 application and submits that all the evidences are against the applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6.
Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, nature & gravity of the offence, material available in the case dairy, this Court is of the opinion that the applicant and the co-accused committed murder of the deceased and looted a sum of Rs. 2000/-. Therefore, it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant- Saroj Dadsena involved in Crime No. 61/2025 under aforesaid sections at Police Station- Komakhan, District- Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh, is rejected. 7. However, this Court hopes and trusts that the Trial Court shall make earnest endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously as soon as possible in accordance with law, if there is no legal impediment.
