This is second application filed by the applicant under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail relating to FIR/Crime No.395/2025 registered at Police Station - Sanjeevani Nagar, District Jabalpur for offences punishable under Sections 296,109,190,191(2) and 191(3) of BNS, 2023. Applicant is in detention since 31.10.2025.
2. As per prosecution story, on 23.10.2025 at about 01:40 AM, while he was standing at Gulaua Chowk with his friend Dhanraj Chakravarti, the accused Sujal Raikwar, Satyam Kevat, and Abhishek Barman arrived, abused him, and assaulted
him. It is alleged that Sujal Raikwar stabbed him with a knife with intent to kill, however, during the attempt to himself, the injury was caused on his right thigh. Satyam Kevat and Abhishek Barman allegedly assaulted him with kicks and fists, after which he became unconscious and was taken to the hospital by his brother and mother. F.I.R was registered. After investigation, charge sheet has been filed.

2 MCRC-13674-2026 is further submitted that applicant aged about 19 years old young boy. Charge- sheet has been filed. There are one criminal antecedents of the applicant. He has further submitted that the trial will take its own time to conclude, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant be released on bail.
4. Per contra, counsel for the State has opposed the same by submitting that specific role has been attributed to the applicant in the first statement of injured recorded in the hospital by the police. However, he fairly submitted that in the second statement no specific role has been attributed against the applicant. He further submitted that applicant has one criminal antecedent, therefore, bail application of the present applicant should not be considered.
5. Heard the submissions made at the bar and perused the case diary.
6. Considering the age of the applicant 19 years, the fact that charge sheet has
already been filed, he is behind bar since 31.10.2025, trial of the case will take time to conclude and also considering the role attributed to the present applicant, the matter requires consideration. However, considering the fact that applicant has one criminal antecedents, it is shocking to know that such a young boy is indulge in such criminal activity, some strict condition should be imposed. Therefore, without expressing any view on the merits of the case, I deem it a fit case to release the applicant on bail by imposing strict conditions. Accordingly, the application is allowed.
7. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court concerned for his appearance before the said Court on all such dates as may be fixed in this regard during the pendency of trial.
