The first bail application filed by the applicant was rejected by this VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2026.05.04 14:35:52 +0530 2 Court in MCRC No.7031 of 2025 vide order dated 03.09.2025. 3. As per prosecution story, in brief, is that the complainant Babita Jain made a complaint before the Police Station - Dongargarh by stating that on 18.05.2025 at night 9.30 pm, Shivam Agrawal was going to L.B.Nagar in his motorcycle, when he reached near Adarsh School Main Road, then one of the co-accused Kailash @ Nikku Rajak along with present applicant and Nandu Rajak threatened by using obscene words due to rush and negligence driven by victim Shivam Agrawal. Thereafter, one of the co-accused blew knife in various parts of the victim due to which the victim suffered grievous injuries and thereafter, he was shifted in hospital for treatment. She further stated that after admitting the hospital, when the husband of the complaint went to look after him, then the co-accused persons again committed threaten and assaulted to her husband Surendra Jain, due to which Surendra Jain also suffered injuries in his body parts. That, thereafter, the concerned police investigated the matter and registered the case against the present applicant along with two co- accused persons and after completion of investigation has filed the charge-sheet before the concerned magistrate. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the first bail application filed by the applicant was rejected by this Court in MCRC No.7031 of 2025 vide order dated 03.09.2025. It is further argued that the applicant's second bail application is based solely on the ground that a compromise has been reached between the injured persons and the applicant. He further submits that the statements of the injured persons have already been recorded before the learned trial court, wherein one injured witness has supported the 3 prosecution case, while the other has turned hostile. It is further submits that the co-accused, namely, Nandu Rajak has been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 03.09.2025 passed in MCRC No.7031 of 2025. The present applicant is in jail since 20.05.2025 and conclusion of the trial may take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the present applicant. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel, opposes the bail application and submits that the applicant is alleged to have assaulted two injured with a knife, resulting in three injuries, including one on the chest, which was found to be grievous in nature and dangerous to the life of the injured, therefore, instant bail application filed by the present applicant is liable to be rejected. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature and gravity of allegation levelled against the applicant and the fact that the applicant is alleged to have assaulted the injured with a knife, resulting in three injuries, including one on the chest, which was found to be grievous in nature and dangerous to the life of the injured, further co-accused who has been granted bail is not similarly placed, and the case against the him is different from that of the present applicant, and the statements of the injured persons have already been recorded before the learned trial court, wherein one injured witness has supported the prosecution case, while the other has turned hostile, as such, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fir case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 4 8. Accordingly, this second bail application of applicant – Paras @ Pappu Nirmalakar, involved in Crime No.235/2025 registered at Police Station –Dongargarh District – Rajnandgaon (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 109(1), 296, 115(2), 351(2), 117(1) and 3(5) of the BNS read with 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, is rejected at this stage. 9. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 10. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaishali
