The prosecution story in brief, is that the complainant, Narendra Sen, lodged a report at Police Station Mohan Nagar stating that on the night of 19.04.2025 at about 10:30 p.m., his younger brother Jitendra Sen had gone out after dinner. Around 11:25 p.m., he was informed that Jitendra had been involved in a quarrel and was lying injured near a toilet. On reaching the spot, the complainant found Jitendra with serious injuries on his head and back, bleeding profusely. Upon inquiry, the injured stated that due to previous enmity, the accused Arjun Ramteke had attacked him with a knife with an intention to kill, causing the said injuries. On the basis of the report, Police Station Mohan Nagar registered an offence under Section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the applicant/accused Arjun Ramteke. After completion of investigation, the charge-sheet was filed. Hence, the bail application. 3.

He also submits that so far as the status of trial is concerned, case is fixed for recording of 3 prosecution evidence. The applicant is in jail since 20.04.2025 and the trial is likely to take some time for its conclusion. Therefore, he prays for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case before the competent Court.
