1.

This is the first bail application seeking for grant of bail to the Applicant who is in jail since 26.10.2017 in connection with Crime No. 414 of 2017

registered at Police Station Kharsiya, Distt. Raigarh, for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302, 452, 294,506, 323 & 427 IPC.

2.

As per prosecution case, the applicant in connivance with two other co-accused persons is said to have gone to the shop of the complainant Arjun

Rohra and there on an altercation between the parties, the applicant and co-accused is said to have assaulted Arjun Rohra who in the course of

altercation had sustained injuries. The said Arjun Rohra subsequently is said to have lodged an FIR on the same day and thereafter succumbed to his

injuries.

3.

The contention of the applicant is that no recovery has been made from the present applicant and that the prosecution has not been able to show

any overt act on the part of the present applicant in commission of the offence. He has been made accused only on account of his being found to be

standing near the place of incident. Therefore, the present applicant be released on bail.

4.

The counsel for the State as well as objector opposing the application submits that it is a case where the applicant's name find place in the FIR and

that there are specific allegations against the applicant. Further, the bail applications of other co-accused persons namely Vidyanand Rathore and

Yugansh Rathore have already been rejected by this court vide MCRC No.2344 of 2018 on 02.05.2018, and therefore the bail application of present

applicant also deserves rejection.

5.

Considering the total facts and circumstances of the case particularly taking note of the fact that bail application of other co- accused persons have

already been rejected by this court vide MCRC No.2344 of 2018 and also considering the fact that the name of present applicant also reflects in the

FIR lodged by the deceased on the same day itself, this court is of the opinion that present is not a fit case to release the applicant on bail.

6.

Accordingly, the bail application stands rejected.
