This is the First bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicants arrested in connection with Crime No. 11/2025 registered at Police Station – Korandha, District – Balrampur- Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(2), 117(2) and 109 of the BNS. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that a report was filed by complainant namely Banand Sonwani at the Korandha police station stating that on March 6, 2025, in the evening, he was sitting with his friends Sarfaraz. Arbaaz, Tarif, and Deepak, lighting a fire near the RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 pond next to their house. At around 7:30 p.m., Suleh Sonwani's son- in-law, accused Jaikaran Sonwani, arrived at his in-laws house after drinking alcohol. He called out to them, demanding that the door be opened. His mother-in-law, Phuleshwari, and his wife, Manita, were cooking. After calling out two or three times, the door opened. Accused Jaikaran, using filthy language, threatened to kill them, claiming it took so long to open the door. He first struck his mother- in-law on the head with a sharp sickle kept near the door, causing her to fall. His wife, Manita, screamed and ran to the house. The accused then came running and struck his wife on the head with the same sickle, inflicting serious injuries. Based on the report, a First Information Report was registered, and the injured were treated. Hence, this application. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the applicants submits that the applicants are innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that the applicant is in jail since 07.03.2025, and the conclusion of the trial shall take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, opposes the bail application and submits that there are two injured persons out of which one is wife of the applicant and one is mother-in-law of the applicant, and when the wife was living at her parental home, and the mother-in-law of the applicant used to interfere in the quarrel between the applicant and his wife, on account of which the incident took place, and the applicant gone to the house of in-laws and said to have assaulted her wife and mother-in-law with Tangi, and the 3 injuries sustained to the injured persons are grievous in nature, and the injured persons also sustained fracture on their heads. As such, the bail application deserves to be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that there are two injured persons out of which one is wife of the applicant and one is mother-in-law of the applicant, and when the wife was living at her parental home, and the mother-in-law of the applicant used to interfere in the quarrel between the applicant and his wife, on account of which the incident took place, and the applicant gone to the house of in-laws and said to have assaulted her wife and mother-in-law with Tangi, and the injuries sustained to the injured persons are grievous in nature, and the injured persons also sustained fracture on their heads, therefore, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicants on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, this bail application of applicant – Jaikaran Sonwani involved in Crime No. 11/2025 registered at Police Station – Korandha, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(2), 117(2) and 109 of the BNS, is rejected at this stage. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 4 9. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Rajshekhar
