1 CGHC010355322026 2026:CGHC:39818 NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR MCRC No. 8486 of 2026 1 - Golu Kshatriya @ Saindwiz S/o Shripati Kshatriya Aged About 40 Years R/o Near Sulabh Souchalaya (Public Toilet) Shakti Nagar, P.S. Khamhardih District- Raipur (C.G.) ... Applicant versus 1 - State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Khamhardih District- Raipur (C.G.) ... Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Rustam Sahu, Advocate For Non-applicant : Mr. Jitendra Shrivastava, GA Hon’ble Shri Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey Order On Board 11.09.2026 1) The applicant has preferred this Second Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short 'BNSS'), for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 61/2026, registered at Police Station Khamhardih, District Raipur (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 115(2), 351(3), 109, 3(5) of BNS. Earlier application was rejected on merits vide order dated 22.07.2026 passed in M.Cr.C. No.6532 of 2026. 2 2) The prosecution story in brief, is that on 27.02.2026, the complainant, Rajesh Sinha, lodged a report stating that at about 10:35 P.M., his son, Saurabh Sinha, returned home in an injured condition with bleeding injuries. He informed the complainant that while he was sitting near an Amritulya tea stall at Shakti Nagar, the applicant, Golu Kshatriya @ Sandwich, along with co-accused Abhishek, arrived there, abused him in filthy language without any provocation, and, upon being restrained, assaulted him with fists and blows. It is further alleged that the applicant attacked the victim several times with a sharp-edged weapon, causing grievous injuries to his left wrist and the left side of his chest with the intention to kill him. On the basis of the report, the police registered the offence, investigated the matter, arrested the accused persons, and, upon completion of the investigation, filed the charge- sheet against them. Hence, the bail application. 3) Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant is in jail since 28.02.2026 and till date, not a single witness has been examined by the prosecution. He would contend that there is no direct evidence against the applicant to the effect that he inflicted injuries on the vital part of the injured with a sharp-edged weapon with an intention to cause his death. He would, therefore, pray for grant of bail to the applicant. 4) On the other hand, learned State counsel would oppose the bail application and submit that the first bail application was rejected on merits vide order dated 22.07.2026 and present subsequent application has been filed after about one month. He would contend that there are 3 serious allegations against the present applicant, as he allegedly inflicted a fatal injury on the abdomen of the victim with a knife. He would further submit that said knife has been seized from the possession of the present applicant. 5) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6) Having considered the fact that the applicant allegedly inflicted a fatal injury on the abdomen of the injured with a knife and said weapon was seized from his possession, coupled with the fact that the earlier application for grant of bail was rejected on merits vide order dated 22.07.2026, I do not find any good ground to grant bail to the applicant. 7) Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 is rejected.
