The applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.317/2024 registered at Police Station Sarsiwa, District Sarangarh-Bilaigarh (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 109 & 103(1) of BNS. 2. The prosecution story in brief is that the complainant has made report to concerned police station that on the date of incident, there was simple dispute in between the applicant and deceased and thereafter, the applicant assaulted upon him and as result of the same, the injured/deceased person received injuries and he was admitted in the hospital where he died during treatment. Based upon such report, the police has registered merg intimation no. 49/2024 and registered the offence under Section 109, 103(1) of BNS, 2023. 3. It was argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further contended that the applicant was friend to the deceased person, but the applicant has neither been assaulted upon his friend nor any intention to commit murder of his friend and nor committed any aforesaid offence as alleged by the prosecution against him.

Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and contended that the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 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 is second bail application and there is no substantial change in the case, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant involved in Crime No.317/2024 registered at Police Station Sarsiwa, District Sarangarh-Bilaigarh (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 109 & 103(1) of BNS, is rejected. 8.
