Applicant versus State Of Chhattisgarh Through The Station House Officer, Police Station- Sariya, District- Sarangarh- Bilaigarh (C.G.) ... Respondent For Applicant : Shri Manoj Kumar Jaiswal, Advocate. For Respondent/State : Ms. Anusha Naik, Dy.G.A. Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 10/07/2026 1. This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short ‘BNSS’) for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been GOURI MUDALIAR Digitally signed by GOURI MUDALIAR Date: 2026.07.13 11:32:51 +0530 2 arrested in connection with Crime No.75/2022 registered at Police Station Sariya, District- Sarangarh- Bilaigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 392 & 34 of IPC. 2. As per the prosecution case, on 07.04.2022, the present applicant, along with the co-accused, allegedly robbed the complainant of a mobile phone and cash amounting to Rs.52,158/-. On the basis of the complainant's report, the police registered the FIR, traced and arrested the accused persons, and registered the offence under Section 392 of the IPC against the applicant and the co-accused. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is contended that no incriminating article was recovered from the possession of the applicant and the alleged seizure was made from another co-accused and from an open place. He would submit that the applicant is in jail since 05.03.2025 and conclusion of trial will take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposed the bail application and submitted that the applicant had absconded during the trial. After the trial was closed, a permanent warrant was issued against him, pursuant to which he was arrested. Therefore, it is prayed that the bail application be 3 rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submission of learned counsel for the parties, materials available on record, considering the fact that the applicant had absconded during the trial and was arrested only after a permanent warrant was issued against him and there is every likelihood that he would abscond, if he is granted bail, therefore this Court is not inclined to grant the benefit of bail to the applicant. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant Tulsi Satnami @ Nanu @ Micheal involved in Crime No.75/2022 registered at Police Station Sariya, District- Sarangarh- Bilaigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 392 & 34 of IPC, is rejected. 8. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information. - Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) CHIEF JUSTICE gouri
