The case of the prosecution, is that the complainant Dinesh Sharma, who is posted as Chief Clerk in the office of Superintendent of Police, Janjgir Champa, lodged a report in the Janjgir police station on 23.04.2026 to the effect that when the complainant was in the office and had gone towards the Superintendent of Police's room to get some documents signed, at that time at 2.30 pm, the accused forcibly tried to enter the Superintendent of Police's room. When the complainant and RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 constable Baldev tried to stop him, the accused quarreled with the police personnel present there and forcibly pushed them and tried to enter the Superintendent of Police's room. Upon searching the accused's pockets, an open packet of pesticide was found. Upon questioning, the accused stated that he had consumed the pesticide and had come to the office. The accused was subsequently admitted to the Janjgir District Hospital. The accused allegedly attempted to forcibly enter the office during office hours, obstructed government work and attempted suicide. Based on the report, the crime was registered against 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 two criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 28.04.2026 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 two 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 two criminal antecedents registered against the 3 present applicant, the charge-sheet has been filed in this case, the applicant is in jail since 28.04.2026 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, I am inclined to allow this application. 7.
