The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 102/2025, registered at Police Station – Urla, District – Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 190, 191(3), 109(1) of BNS and Sections 25 and 27 of Arms Act. 2. The case of the prosecution, is that complainant Luv Sahu lodged police report on 25.05.2025 by stating that on 25.05.2025 at about 1.40 PM he was sitting along with Pawan Vaishnav. At that time two VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.12.17 17:28:09 +0530 2 persons approached him and attacked by way of knife, out of which one person is Rehan Khan. Complainant was found with covered with blood and thereafter he was admitted in the hospital and lodged FIR against the applicant, hence this bail 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. He further submits that there are five accused persons including the applicant but other four accused are absconded. He also submits that there is no allegation levelled against the applicant for assaulting the injured, only one knife has been recovered from the possession of the present applicant. Moreover, complainant and present applicant entered into amicable settlement and complainant has also filed no objection for grant of bail before the lower Court. Copy of the same is annexed herewith as Annexure A-3 and there is no previous 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 26.05.2025 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 is no previous criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. It is further submitted that one knife has been seized from the possession of the present applicant, 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, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the 3 fact that complainant and present applicant entered into amicable settlement and complainant has also filed no objection for grant of bail before the lower Court, charge-sheet has been filed against the applicant, the applicant is in jail since 26.05.2025, looking to the detention period of the applicant and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, I am inclined to allow this application. 7. Let applicant, Rehan Khan, involved in Crime No.02/2025, registered at Police Station – Urla, District – Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 190, 191(3), 109(1) of BNS and Sections 25 and 27 of Arms Act, 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 applicant 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.
