Order on Board 18/11/2025
1. This is the second bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicants who have been arrested in connection with Crime No. 113/2025 registered at Police Station – Ranchirai, District – Balod (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 64 (2) (L), 109 (1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the prosecutrix has lodged a written report against the applicant and stated that on 01.09.2025 in the morning the applicant called the prosecutrix in his house and committed sexual relationship with her and when she was unconscious, then the applicant made her drink pesticide and poured it on her face. Subsequently, the complainant lodged a report at Police Station Ranchirai, upon which an FIR
2 was registered against the applicant and he was arrested on 13.09.2025.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent, he has not committed any offence as alleged and has been falsely implicated in the aforesaid crime. He submits that the charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court and there is no material against the applicant in the entire charge-sheet. He submits that the victim is a major married lady and she was having a consensual relationship and when the fact was known to her husband, she has lodged the present FIR only to falsely implicate the present applicant. Further, there are no criminal antecedents against the applicant. He is in jail since 13.09.2025, and therefore, he may be enlarged on bail
4. Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed. Further, from a perusal of the record and the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S., 2023, it is evident that the victim has clearly sated that the applicant has called the victim in house and told her to open Almirah and and that time, the applicant committed sexual assault upon the victim and thereafter, have also poured pesticide upon her. He submits that the investigation is complete, charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court. Therefore, the applicants are not entitled to be released on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the offense leveled against the applicant and also, the fact that the complainant has leveled specific allegations against the applicant which is evident from her statement recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS, 2023, furthermore, considering the gravity and seriousness of this case and it cannot be a case of false implication, this Court is of the view that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. 3
7. Accordingly, the second bail application of the applicants – Krishna Chandrakar, involved in Crime No. 113/2025 registered at Police Station – Ranchirai, District – Balod (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 64 (2) (L), 109 (1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, is rejected at this stage. 8. Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance.
