Furthermore they are accused of causing head injury by beating him with bangle (chuda) worn on his hand. Along with committing physical assault. Hence this Application. Based upon such report the consent police station has registered offence punishable U/s 296, 109, 3(5) of the B.N.S. against the applicant. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. It is further submitted that the present applicant has been implicated in the case solely on the basis of the memorandum statement of a co- accused. It is contended that the only allegation against the applicant is that he used abusive language towards the injured, Tularam Sahu, and allegedly threatened to kill him. There is no allegation of any physical assault by the applicant. The grievous injuries sustained by the injured were inflicted by other co-accused persons using a knife. Further, there is no previous criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 28.01.2026 and trial is likely to take quite long time for its conclusion, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that there is no previous criminal antecedents registered against the present applicant. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, 3 nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, also considering the fact that the present applicant has been implicated in the case solely on the basis of the memorandum statement of a co- accused and the only allegation against the applicant is that he used abusive language towards the injured, Tularam Sahu, and allegedly threatened to kill him, further, there is no allegation of any physical assault by the applicant.
