Applicant versus 1 - State Of Chhattisgarh Through Police Station Sakri District - Bilaspur (C.G.) ... Respondent(s) For Applicant : Mr. Anand Kesharwani, Advocate For Respondent(s) : Mr. Neeraj Sharma, Dy. A.G. Hon’ble Shri Justice Arvind Kumar Verma, Judge Order on Board 30/01/2025 1. The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of BNSS,2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 832/2023, registered 2 at Police Station Sakri, District- Bilaspur (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC and Section 25 and 27 of Arms Act, 1959. 2. The prosecution story in brief, is that on 08.12.2023 at around 11:00 pm in the courtyard of her house, Raja Dom quarreled with her husband Kundan Dom saying that you have illicit relations with my sister and killed Kundan Dom by hitting him in the chest, stomach and head with a knife he had with him. On the report of the applicant, crime number 89/23 section 174 of Cr.P.C. and Section 302 of IPC was registered and the case was taken into investigation. 3. It was argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further contended that the prosecution has not examined its witnesses as around more than one year has already elapsed and 9 witnesses have already been examined who have turned hostile. The applicant is in jail since 9.12.2023. Also, the trial is likely to take some time for its conclusion. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that 14 witnesses has already been examined by the Trial Court. Therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, nature & gravity of the offence, material available in the case dairy it is crystal clear that there is prima facie involvement of the applicant. Thus, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant- Raja Kumar Dom involved in Crime No. 832/2023 under Section 302 of IPC and Section 25 and 27 of Arms Act, 1959. at Police Station Sakri, District-Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, is rejected. 7. However, this Court hopes and trusts that the Trial Court shall make earnest endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously as soon as possible in accordance with law, if there is no legal impediment. 8. Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) JUDGE Madhurima
