The case of the prosecution, is that on 27/12/2025 at about 13:00 hours, the complainant namely Gopi Ram Divya along with his companions, namely Manish Bijhwar and Ashish Kumar Bijhwar, were proceeding on a Hero HF Deluxe motorcycle bearing Registration No. CG-12-BD-2898 towards TP Nagar Palm Mall Road and upon reaching near the water tank situated at Dodhipara Mohalla, they were allegedly wrongfully intercepted and restrained by four unknown persons coming RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 from the opposite direction who demanded registration documents of the motorcycle, whereafter the said persons allegedly started hurling filthy and obscene abuses and extended threats to their lives and thereafter forcibly dragged the complainant and his companions to a secluded place situated behind the water tank near the railway line, where they were allegedly assaulted by fists, kicks, belts and sticks, thereby causing injuries to them. It is further alleged that during the course of the incident, the assailants committed robbery of one Realme mobile phone valued at approximately 12,000/-, one Oppo mobile phone valued at approximately 27,000/- containing cash amount of Rs.100/- inside its cover, one Vivo mobile phone valued at approximately Rs.9,000/- containing cash amount of Rs.300/- inside its cover, an additional cash amount of Rs.50/- belonging to Ashish Kumar, and also robbed the Hero HF Deluxe motorcycle along with its ignition keys, collectively valued at approximately 30,000/-, and thereafter fled away from the spot. It is further the case of the prosecution that after the alleged incident, the injured persons first went to the house of their friend and thereafter approached Police Chowki CSEB, on the basis of which crime came to be registered against the unknown accused persons. On basis of the above facts, FIR was registered against the applicant (the accused). Hence, this application. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case and there are 2 criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The 3 applicant is in jail since 28.01.2026 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that there are 2 criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, the charge-sheet has been filed in this case, and the applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact that there are 2 criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, charge-sheet has been filed against the applicant, the applicant is in jail since 28.01.2026 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, I am inclined to allow this application. 7.
