Mr. M.K. Ray, learned counsel for the Applicant through video conferencing. 2. Mr. G.C. Joshi, learned A.G.A. along with Mr. J.P. Kandpal, learned Brief Holder for the State. 3. The present Bail Application has been moved by the Applicant — Vinod Kumar, aged about 31 years, S/o Raghuveer Lal, R/o Village Sankot, Police Station Augustyamuni, Tehsil Rudraprayag, District Rudraprayag. The Applicant is in judicial custody in connection with FIR No. 36 of 2025, registered at Police Station Augustyamuni, District Rudraprayag, under Sections 109(1), 115(2), 118(2), 351(2) and 352 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. 4. Heard Mr. M.K. Ray, learned counsel for the Applicant through video conferencing, and Mr. G.C. Joshi, learned A.G.A., along with Mr. J.P. Kandpal, learned Brief Holder for the State, and perused the record. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that there is inordinate and unexplained delay in lodging the FIR, which creates serious doubt about the prosecution story. The injuries shown to have been sustained by the victims are simple in nature and, considering the nature of the injuries, the offence under Section 109(1) of the B.N.S. is not made out. Rather, the incident appears to have occurred due to sudden provocation. It is further submitted that the Applicant has been in judicial custody since 03.09.2025 and has no previous criminal antecedents. 6. On the other hand, learned Brief Holder for the State has opposed the bail application, contending that the injuries are serious in nature. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, this Court is of the view that the Applicant deserves to be released on bail at this stage. 8. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned. 10. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. ( Ash ish Nait h an i, J.) Vacation Judge 16.01.2026 Shiksha
