Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that that a merg No. 41/2024 is registered on the basis of intimation given by Johan Devdas regarding death of deceased Kamlakar Meshram and during search a slip of Raj Fuels Mahasamund was found in his pocket so the CCTV footage were seen and the same was matched from the CCTV footage of toll plaza, in which, deceased were seen with the applicant and alongwith another accused. Wife of deceased identified the dead body of deceased and during search, Car of deceased was recovered in which the applicant/Ku. Belmati Seth @ Baby was arrested from Mathura city of Uttar- Pradesh. Her memorandum statement is recorded, in which, she stated about the commission of offence by the co-accused, therefore, the applicant and co-accused were arrested in the aforesaid crime/offence. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case, he has not committed any offence as alleged. Only on the basis of his memorandum statement, applicant has been arrested and implicated in this case. The prosecution has not produced any specific material/evidence against the applicant, except his memorandum statement, there is no any previous criminal antecedent registered against the applicant, she is in jail since 17/09/2024. Investigation is complete, charge-sheet has been filed. Out of 17 witnesses, only 09 witnesses have been examined before the trial Court yet. This second bail application is filed in change circumstances, as there is a 3 considerable delay in trial, therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the submission of counsel for the applicant and submits that on the basis of statement of applicant made before the Police, pin-point recovery has been made, i.e, Aadhar Card and pass-book of the deceased, hence, she is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. Heard learned counsel for both the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering facts of the case, nature of allegation, submissions of counsel for the parties, particularly the fact that first bail application of applicant was dismissed on merits and there is no new grounds reflected/pleaded in the instant bail application, hence, I do not find any substantial change in circumstances to admit this bail application. 7. Accordingly, the second bail application is hereby rejected/dismissed. Certified copy as per rules. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) Judge J/-
