The applicant has preferred this first bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.371/2020, registered at Police Station - Supela, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 353 and 307 IPC.
2.
The prosecution story, in brief, is that the applicant along with his friend entered into a quarrel with the bank employee on account of sanitizer and mask and information thereof was given to the police. When the police personnel came there to inquire into the matter and stood behind the car of applicant, he deliberately drove the car over him and tried to kill the complainant. Based on this, offence has been registered. The present applicant has been taken into custody on 25.06.2020.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. He
further submits that the police did not take any action in the complaint filed by the applicant and it is he who himself surrendered before the Court. He also submits that the applicant is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide by all the directions and conditions, which may be imposed by this Court. It is next submitted that the applicant is in custody since 25.06.2020, charge sheet has been filed and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in near future. Therefore, he may be released on bail.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.

Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of offence and further considering the fact that the present applicant is in custody since 25.06.2020, charge sheet has been filed and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in near future, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.
