Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal Order on Board 21 / 08 / 2025 1. The accused/applicant has moved this first bail application under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 for releasing her on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No. 30/2023 registered at Police Station –Tumla, District – Jashpur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 302 of IPC. Digitally signed by HEERA LAL SAHU Date: 2025.08.22 10:21:54 +0530 2 2. As per the prosecution’s case, it is alleged against the present applicant that on the date of offence i.e. 28.06.2023, she committed the murder of his husband by assaulting him on his head and temple by means of a sharp-edged axe. Based on this, offence has been registered against the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits only on the basis of a simple family dispute, the applicant has falsely been implicated in the aforesaid crime, but she has neither assaulted her husband, deceased, nor committed the alleged offence. The applicant is in jail since 26.10.2023, and there is no likelihood of her case being decided in the near future; therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that the applicant committed a heinous crime of murder of her husband, and there is one eyewitness Nand Kumari, who is the daughter of the deceased; therefore, at this stage, she may not be enlarged on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 6. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly looking to the material available on record, the evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicant and the gravity of offence, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023, is rejected. 7. However, considering the case as an exceptional case as the applicant is in jail since 26.10.2023, the concerned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of 4 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 8. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge H.L. Sahu
