1.The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 971/2025, registered at Police Station Sakri, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 296, 115(2), 351(2), 119(1) and 118(1) of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.

As per the brief prosecution story, the complainant lodged a complaint at the concerned police station stating that on the date of the incident, i.e., 15.12.2025 at about 06:00 o'clock, a dispute arose between the parties regarding the demand for Rs. 200/- for consuming liquor. When the 2 complainant refused to give the said amount, the applicant allegedly assaulted the complainant with a weapon, used filthy language, and threatened to commit his murder.

4. On the other hand, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the charge-sheet has already been filed before the competent Court.
