2. The brief prosecution story is that after conducting investigation against
the accused, the prosecution found a prima facie case of assault
committed by the accused. Accordingly, Police Station Kharora, District
Raipur (C.G.), registered Crime No. 770/2025 against the

351(3), 115(2), 117(2), and 191(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
(BNS). After registering the case, the police collected evidence and
continued the investigation against him. The applicant was arrested and
produced before the Court of the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class

of learned JMFC, Tilda.
3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant is an
innocent person who has been falsely implicated in the present case. He
also submits that the injuries sustained by the injured are simple in
nature, the present applicant has no criminal antecedents, and he has
been in jail since 16.11.2025, conclusion of the trial may take some time,
therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicant.
4. On the other hand learned State counsel opposes the bail application of
the present applicant and submits that the charge-sheet has been
submitted before the competent Court in the present case.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

the offense, and further the fact that injury received by the injured person
found to be simple in nature and further, the charge-sheet has already
been submitted before the competent Court in the present case and the
applicant is in jail since 16.11.2025, conclusion of the trial is likely to take
sometime, therefore, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be
released on bail in this case.
