Earlier the first bail application of the applicant was rejected vide order dated 24.04.2026 passed in MCRC No.2629/2026, on merits. 3. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 15.11.2025 around 9:00 PM the applicant called the complainant near Purana Telshil Chowk to talk on some issue, when the complainant reached there, the present applicant started abusing him by using slurs on the RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 complainants mother & sister and started threaten him to kill him. And the applicant with a intension to kill the complainant pull out his knife and attacked on the complainant due to which he got injured. And some how the complainant ran away and saved his life. Hence, this application. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that during the course of the trial, the victim who has suffered the injuries on his person, has turned hostile and not supported the case of the prosecution, and so far as the trial is concerned, out of 15 prosecution witnesses only 5 have been examined by the trial Court. It is submitted that the applicant is in jail since 20.11.2025, and the conclusion of the trial shall take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel, opposes the bail application and submits that though the victim/injured has turned hostile before the trial Court, but the applicant has cause injuries to the injured due to which he has suffered grievous injuries on his person, and on the same ground the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court. As such, the bail application deserves to be rejected. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that though the victim/injured has turned hostile 3 before the trial Court, but the applicant has cause injuries to the injured due to which he has suffered grievous injuries on his person, and on the same ground the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court, thus, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 8. Accordingly, this second bail application of applicant – Shalu Ansari (Khan) @ Isreal, involved in Crime No. 1064/2025 registered at Out Post – Belghana, Police Station – Kota, District – Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 351(2) and 109(1) of the BNS, is rejected at this stage. 9.
