The applicants have preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as they have been arrested in connection with Crime No. 280/2025, registered at Police Station – Civil Lines, District – Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 281, 296, 115(2), 351(2), 126(2), 61, 62, 140 read with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS). 2. The case of the prosecution, is that an FIR was lodged on 19.06.2025 by one Pallav Sahu, against two unknown riders of Active bearing RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 registration No. CG-04-MD-7842, alleging that when he was returning home in his car at about 2:45 PM near Burger King Shankar Nagar, two unknown riders approached to his vehicle and started shouting at him and made him stop his vehicle and started assaulting him with hard and blunt object due to which he had sustained injuries over knees and hands. Hence, this application. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicants along with the co-accused, are said to have assaulted the injured with iron rod due to which he has sustained injuries on his hands and knee, which are non- vital part of the body and as per the MLC report, no grievous nature of injury and any internal damage has been found on the body of the injured. The applicants are in jail since 29.06.2025 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 application and submits that there are no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicants, and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. It is further submitted that the applicants along with the co- accused persons are said to have assaulted the injured due to which he has sustained some injuries on his hands and over knees, therefore, the applicants are 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, nature 3 and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicants and the fact that charge-sheet has been filed against the applicants, further the applicants along with the co-accused, are said to have assaulted the injured with iron rod due to which he has sustained injuries on his hands and knee, which are non-vital part of the body and as per the MLC report, no grievous nature of injury and any internal damage has been found on the body of the injured, the applicants are in jail since 29.06.2025 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, I am inclined to allow this application. 7. Let applicants, Adil Ahmad and Mohammad Shahdab @ Saddu, involved in Crime No. 280/2025, registered at Police Station – Civil Lines, District – Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 281, 296, 115(2), 351(2), 126(2), 61, 62, 140 read with Section 3(5) of the BNS, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties in the like sum to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicants shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
