The applicant has preferred this first bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 as he is in jail since 11.08.2026 in connection with Crime No. 711/2026 registered in Police Station – Pulgaon, District Durg (CG) for commission of offence punishable under Sections 110 of BNS and Sections 184, 185 & 190(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. 2.

Mr. Arvind Shrivastava, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the applicant would argue that the injured sustained injuries in an accident and it was not deliberate or intentional. He would contend that formally F.I.R. was registered under Section 109(1) of BNS, but after going through video-clip, it was substituted under Section 110 of BNS which deals with attempt to commit culpable homicide. Mr. Shrivastava, Senior Advocate would submit that in the present case charge-sheet has been filed, the applicant is in jail since 11.08.2026 and the injuries sustained by injured are simple in nature. Thus, he would pray to release the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, Mr. Jitendra Shrivastava, learned Government Advocate appearing for the State/non-applicant would oppose. He would submit that as per allegation made in the F.I.R. and the statement of the complainant/injured, the present applicant intentionally dashed the injured using his Car. He would admit the fact that charge- sheet has already been filed and the injuries sustained by the complainant/injured are simple in nature. 5. Mr. Animesh Verma, learned Advocate appearing for the complainant would support the contention made by learned Senior Advocate. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Having considered the fact that police during investigation substituted Section 109(1) of BNS with Section 110 of BNS as there was no intention of the present applicant to commit culpable homicide and the injuries sustained by the complainant/injured are simple in nature, 3 charge-sheet has already been filed and the applicant is in jail since11.08.2026, I am inclined to release the applicant on regular bail. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant is allowed. 8. It is directed that in the event of the applicant executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Trial Court, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- I.
