Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that during Holi festival, a dispute arose SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Digitally signed by SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Date: 2026.09.26 17:12:10 +0530 2 between the complainant and applicant at Village Beharchuwan Chowk. Thereafter, the applicant allegedly assaulted and pushed the complainant, resultantly, he fell down and sustained simple injuries, as per the medical report dated 07.03.2026. On such complaint, the police registered offence against unknown accused persons. Subsequently, on the basis of suspicion and alleged memorandum statement, the applicant was implicated in the present case and arrested. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant is an innocent person and has falsely been implicated in the present case. He submits that at present, only five prosecution witnesses have been examined out of 10 and they have not supported the case of prosecution. He would contend that the applicant is in jail since 09.03.2026, charge-sheet has been filed and conclusion of the trial may take some time. Therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the present applicant. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail to the present applicant. He would submit that as per CT Scan report, the injured sustained multiple hemorrhagic contusions with cerebral edema, which indicates grievous and life-threatening head injuries. He would further submit that there is no change in circumstances, and thus, the application deserves to be rejected. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and the material available on record. 7. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, and the fact that this is the third bail application. The two bail applications of the present applicant were rejected on merits and further no new ground has been raised in this third bail application. There is no change in circumstance and further 3 considering the allegations leveled against the present applicant, I am not inclined to allow this application. 8. Accordingly, the instant application for the grant of bail is rejected. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) JUDGE $iddhant
