They also allegedly damaged the complainant's television etc. and looted cash and a mobile phone belonging to the complainant. Thereafter, the aforesaid offence was registered against the applicants. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the applicants would submit that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the case. He would further submit that the charge-sheet has already been filed, applicant No.1 – Tejkumar Bhoi has been in jail since 26.06.2026 and applicant No.2 – Ayushman @ Ayush Bhoi has been in jail since 6.8.2026, and the trial is likely to take some time to conclude. He would, therefore, pray that the instant bail application be allowed. 4. On the other hand, learned Panel Lawyer appearing for the State/non- applicant would oppose the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants. He would further submit that applicant No. 1, Tejkumar Bhoi has four live criminal antecedents registered in the years 2021, 2025 and 2026, whereas applicant No. 2, Ayushman @ Ayush Bhoi, has one criminal antecedent registered in the year 2025 for offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 190, 191(2), 324(4), 331(6) and 351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). He would, therefore, submit that the instant bail application deserves to be rejected. 3 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Having considered the fact that applicant No. 1, Tejkumar Bhoi, has four active criminal antecedents registered in the years 2021, 2025 and 2026, and that applicant No. 2, Ayushman @ Ayush Bhoi, has one criminal antecedent registered in the year 2025 for offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 190, 191(2), 324(4), 331(6) and 351(3) of the BNS, and further considering the allegations that the applicants looted Rs. 25,000/- and caused hurt to the complainant and his family members using a sword, knife and chain, I am not inclined to allow the instant bail application. 7. Accordingly, the bail application filed by the applicants is hereby rejected. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) Judge Nimmi
