The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 1418/2025, registered at Police Station Supela, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 109(1), 296, 115(2), 324(2) and 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 25 and 27 of the Arms Act. 2. As per the prosecution case, in brief, on 30.11.2025 at about 4:00 PM, the complainant, Simranjit Singh, along with his friend Amritpal Singh, ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Digitally signed by ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Date: 2026.04.28 11:04:11 +0530 2 while returning from Raipur, stopped at an idli cart situated in front of Ram Rasoi near Nehru Chowk. At that time, a few boys were arguing among themselves, and one of them, whose hand was in plaster and who was under the influence of alcohol, started quarrelling with the complainant. Thereafter, when Amritpal Singh was taking out the car to leave, the said person assaulted him with a stick, causing injury to his left hand. When the complainant intervened, an associate of the assailant abused him and attacked him with a knife with the intention to kill, resulting in injuries on his chest, stomach, back, and waist. It is further alleged that when Amritpal Singh attempted to record the incident on his mobile phone, the assailants snatched the phone, damaged the car by hitting it with a brick, and fled from the spot in a Swift car bearing registration No. CG-07-CC-9445. On the basis of the said incident, an FIR has been registered, and the present bail application has been filed. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant is an innocent person who has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits there was a dispute between other persons, and the present applicant was merely trying to settle the dispute. However, a false recovery of a knife has been shown from the possession of the present applicant. He also submits that the present case is one of false implication, and due to political enmity, the applicant has been falsely implicated. The injuries sustained by the complainant are simple in nature. The charge sheet in the case has already been filed, and the trial is likely to take a long time for its final disposal. Due to poverty, the family members of the applicant are facing great hardship, therefore, the present applicant may kindly be released on bail. He further submits thatone co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court in MCRC No. 641/2026 on 19.01.2026. The case of the present applicant is similar 3 to that of the said co-accused, therefore, the applicant is seeking grant of bail on the ground of parity. 4. On the other hand learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the charge-sheet has been submitted before the competent Court in the present case. 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 offence, and upon perusal of the MLC of the injured, it appears that the injuries sustained are simple in nature. Further, the charge-sheet has already been filed before the competent Court, and the applicant has been in custody since 01.12.2025. As the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, this Court is of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the present case. 7. Let the applicant – B Sonu, involved in Crime No. 1418/2025, registered at Police Station Supela, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 109(1), 296, 115(2), 324(2) and 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 25 and 27 of the 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.
