This first anticipatory bail application filed under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.337/2026 registered at Police Station – Deendayal Nagar, District Raipur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 126(2), 191(3), 296, 115(2) and 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that in the night of 26.05.2026, both groups were present at a birthday party of one Aashutosh Tiwari at a Digitally signed by R NIRALA 2 farm house in Ameshwar, Raipur. A verbal argument arose between Adarsh Rajput and Lacchi Pahuja over their respective businesses, which was subsequently pacified by mutual friends at the party itself. That as per the prosecution version, on 27.05.2026, the complainant Sachin Poptani and Lacchi Pahuja were returning home when their vehicle was allegedly intercepted near Kushpur Bridge, Ring Road No.1, Raipur. A fight is alleged to have taken place during which Adarsh Rajput allegedly used a sharp-edged weapon and caused an incised wound to Harish Kumar. The FIR further alleges verbal abuse and threats were extended by the accused party. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that as per the prosecution case, the applicant is said to have caused injuries by hands and fist to the injured whereas the co-accused Adarsh Rajput has caused injuries to injured Sachin by knife and so far as the other two injured are concerned, they have suffered injuries by hands and fist. He would submit that co-accused namely Mihir Bhansali has already granted bail by this Court vide order dated 08.07.2026 in MCRCA No.986/2026 and the applicant is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide by all the directions and conditions which may be imposed by this Court. He further submits that there is no criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant, therefore he prays to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel, appearing for the non- applicant/State, opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that the anticipatory bail of the applicant has been rejected by 3 the 7th Additional Sessions Judge, therefore, applicant is not entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the materials available on record. 6. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, submission of learned counsel for the parties, materials available on record, considering the nature of allegation levelled against the applicant that he has caused injuries to the injured by hands and fist, applicant has no criminal antecedents and also considering the fact that investigation and trial are likely to take some time, without commenting anything on the merits of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant – Shek Imran @ Immu, on executing a personal bond and one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) the applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such fact to the Court.
