1.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. 967/2025 registered at Police Station - Civil Line, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 25 and 27 of the Arms Act.
2. The prosecution story in brief is that police officials have received the secret information that on dated 23/08/2025 the present applicant was threatening and intimidating the general public and passer by, near Mini Basti Jarhabhata, sulabh Mangal Bhavan by holding an iron knife with his hand and after reaching to the incident place, police officials have seized 2 the knife and arrested the applicant.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the applicant has three criminal antecedents under the the IPC out of which 02 cases have been disposed of and 01 case is still pending. Explanations in respect thereof have been duly furnished in paragraph 4(a) of the present bail application. It is also submitted that the applicant has been in judicial custody since 23.08.2025. On these grounds, learned counsel prays for grant of regular bail to the applicant.
4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the charge-sheet has already been filed before the competent Court. She further submits that, in view of the criminal antecedents of the applicant, which demonstrate that he is a habitual offender, he is not entitled to the grant of regular bail.
5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary.
6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, namely that the three criminal antecedents under the the IPC out of which 02 cases have been disposed of and 01 case is still pending and explanations in respect thereof have been furnished in paragraph 4(a) of the present bail application and further considering that the charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court and that the applicant has been in judicial custody since 23.08.2025, and that the conclusion of the trial may take some more time, this Court is of the considered view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the present case.
