Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Arjunda, District Balod Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri T.K.Jha, Advocate For Respondent/State : Shri Ayaz Naved, GA Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 26/06/2020 Heard on admission.

Admit.

The applicant has filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is in custody in connection with Crime No. 181/2019 registered at police station Arjunda, district Balod (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 307 IPC.

As per prosecution case, report was lodged by the complainant alleging that his brother was having love affair with the sister of the applicant and they got married. It is alleged that due to which, both

the applicant and complainant were in tension and the applicant assaulted the complainant with knife on his neck as a result of which he sustained injuries.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. He submits that the applicant was not having any intention to cause his death. Lastly, he submits that the applicant is in jail since 30.10.2019, charge sheet has been filed and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion.

On the other hand counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Having heard counsel for the parties, considered the totality of the fact, in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on regular bail. Accordingly, his application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is allowed. It is directed that in the event of the applicant's furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with two sureties for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.

It is made clear that if the applicant has already been released on bail pursuant to the bail bonds already furnishing in view of the order passed by the High Power Committee constituted in compliance of the order of the Supreme Court of India dated 23.03.2020 in the matter of In Re: Contagion of COVID 19 Virus in Prisons (Suo Moto Writ Petition (C) No. 1/2020), he need nod furnish bail bonds afresh and the bail bonds already furnished shall

be deemed to be the bail bonds furnished in compliance of the order of this Court, but if he has not furnished the bail bonds earlier, then he will be required to furnish bail bonds within four weeks' from today. Sd/- (Rajani Dubey) Judge suguna
