The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that a merg intimation No. 25/2026 was lodged by brother of the deceased under Section 194 of the BNSS alleging that her sister who was aged about 15 years 8 months & 3 days has committed suicide by hanging herself near Chhidiya nursery. On the basis of merg intimation, FIR No. 62/2026 has been registered against the applicant alleging that the applicant has outraged modesty of the deceased and instigated her to commit suicide by hanging herself in a tree, therefore, the offence as aforestated has been registered against the applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant is ARUN KUMAR DEWANGAN Digitally signed by ARUN KUMAR DEWANGAN Date: 2026.09.08 17:13:38 +0530 innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He would further submit that the prosecution has not collected any material against the applicant with regard to commission of offence. He would further submit that three witnesses have been examined before the trial Court but they have not supported the case of the prosecution, the applicant is in jail since 14.03.2026 and trial will take some time for its final disposal, therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel as well counsel for the objector opposing the bail application would submit that the presence of the applicant on the place of occurrence is established from statement of victim’s father, therefore, the applicant is not entitled to get bail by this Court and would pray for rejection of the bail application. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary with utmost satisfaction. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of offence and also considering the fact that there is sufficient material collected by the prosecution regarding involvement of the applicant in the crime in question, therefore, this is not a fit case where the applicant should be enlarged on bail. 7. Accordingly, the instant bail application filed Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is hereby rejected. 8. The observation made by this Court is not bearing any effect on the trial of the case. The learned trial court will decide the criminal trial in accordance with evidence, material placed on record without being influenced by any of the observation made by this Court while deciding the present bail application.
