---- Applicant

Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station, Sankara, Civil And Revenue District Mahasamund Chhattisgarh.

---- Respondent For Applicant : Smt. Laxmin Tondey, Advocate For Respondent/State : Ms. Akhar Amit, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 18/11/2019 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.151/2019 registered at police station Sankara, District Mahasamund (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 341,392,34 of IPC.

Case of the prosecution in brief is that report was lodged by the complainant alleging that when he was going along with two others in his motorbike, near the village square, applicant and two accused stopped them on the way and looted the bike.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been

falsely implicated in the crime and he is in jail since 19.08.2019. He submits that the charge sheet has been filed; the offence is triable by Magistrate First Class and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion and therefore he may be released on bail.

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 one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
