MCRC/9321/2026 of GANGADHAR CHANDRAVANSHI Vs STATE OF CHHATTISGARH on 15 October 2026

1. The applicant has preferred this first bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 as he is in jail since 01.07.2026 in connection with Crime No. 188/2026 registered in Police Station- Pipariya, District Kabirdham (CG) for commission of offence punishable under Sections 296, 115(2), 351(3) & 118(1) of BNS and Sections 25 & 27 of Arms Act.

2. As per case of prosecution, on 30.06.2026 the present applicant abused father of the complainant with filthy language and threatened to kill him. It is also alleged that the present applicant inflicted injury on

his neck using a battleaxe. F.I.R. was lodged on same date. Accordingly, the police registered the offence as stated above.

3. Mr. Omprakash Sahu, learned Advocate appearing for the applicant would submit that the applicant is innocent person, he has falsely been implicated in the case, charge-sheet has already been filed and he is in jail since 01.07.2026. He would contend that the applicant has 01 criminal antecedent which was registered way back in the year 2013. Thus, he would pray for grant of bail.

4. On the other hand, Ms. Smriti Shrivastava, learned Panel Lawyer appearing for the State/non-applicant would oppose. She would submit that the present applicant inflicted injury on the vital part of the complainant by means of battleaxe. She would contend that though according to MLC, nature of injury was simple, but intention of the applicant has to be seen. She would submit that the bail application of the applicant deserves to be rejected.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

6. Having considered the fact that the applicant has stale criminal antecedent which was registered in the year 2013, he is in jail since 01.07.2026 and charge-sheet has already been filed; further injury sustained by the complainant according to MLC is simple in nature, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

7. It is directed that in the event of the applicant executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Trial Court, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:-

I. He shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such fact to the Court;
