This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 28/2026 registered at Police Chowki Raghunathpur, Police Station – Lundra, NIKITA JAIN Digitally signed by NIKITA JAIN Date: 2026.05.02 12:01:51 +0530 2 District Surguja (C.G.) for the offence under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2) and 61(2) of B.N.S. 2. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that a written application was submitted by one Krishna Kumar Nagesiya and lodged a report at Police Chowki Raghunathpur, Police Station – Lundra, District Surguja (C.G.) alleging that his father Bandhan Nagesiya died on 29.12.2019 and owned land in the Village Sayerrai. It is alleged further that the accused Bandhan Oraon impersonated the deceased Bandhan Nagesiya and fraudulently sold his land to Akash Deep Raimbo for a sum of Rs.29,92,000/- through registered deed of sale dated 06.01.2026 before the witness Vishwanath Sayed. On the basis of the report, FIR has been filed at Police Chowki Raghunathpur, Police Station – Lundra, District Surguja (C.G.). During the investigation proceedings, the present applicant was arrested and thereafter, the offence was registered against the applicant under under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2) and 61(2) of B.N.S. 3. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case as he has no direct involvement. It is further submitted that the applicant has no previous criminal antecedent and the charge-sheet has not been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 05.02.2026 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. 3 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, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact that the applicant has no direct involvement in the present case and the charge-sheet has not been filed in this case, the applicant is in jail since 05.02.2026 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, I am inclined to allow this application. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant - Aakash Deep Raimbo, involved in Crime No. 28/2026, registered at Police Chowki Raghunathpur, Police Station – Lundra, District Surguja (C.G.) for the offence under Sections 319(2), 318(4), 336(3), 338, 340(2) and 61(2) of B.N.S. be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two local sureties in the like sum to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
