ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Digitally signed by ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Date: 2026.08.19 13:02:54 +0530 2 Thereafter, on the next morning, when the applicant reached the bicycle shop of the victim, Atul Yadav, the victim also advised the applicant not to talk to his sister. Thereupon, the applicant got angry and allegedly attacked the victim, Atul Yadav, with a knife while using abusive language. Accordingly, o>ences punishable under Sections 109 and 296 of the B.N.S., 2023, and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act have been registered against the applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that the applicant is only 18 years of age, and the applicant and the victim, Atul Yadav, are residents of nearby villages. They have very good family relations and are well known to each other. Therefore, the victim has entered into a compromise with the applicant on 05.06.2026. The applicant has neither committed nor participated in any such act which may amount to the alleged o>ence. He also submits that apart from the aforesaid facts, the evidence collected by the prosecution is also not prima facie su9cient to establish the involvement of the applicant in the alleged o>ence or to hold him guilty thereof. He also submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and he is in jail since 24.05.2026, conclusion of the trial may take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the charge-sheet has been submitted before the competent Court in the present case. 5. Learned counsel for the complainant submits that the victim has no objection if the bail application of the present applicant is allowed. 3 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the o>ence, and further the fact that learned counsel appearing for the objector has expressed no objection to the applicant being granted bail, and moreover, the charge-sheet has already been submitted before the competent Court, the applicant has been in judicial custody since 24.05.2026, and as the trial is likely to take some time to conclude, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the present case. 8. 8. Let applicant, Aditya Banjare, involved in Crime No. 95/2026 registered at Police Station : Sargaon, District – Mungeli (C.G.) for the o>ence punishable under Sections 109 and 296 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall ;le an undertaking to the e>ect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates ;xed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
