   has further argued that the main accused namely Rajat, who has caused injury on the head of the

   has further contended that from the factual milieu of the case in hand, the offence under Section 109 of BNS 2023 (erstwhile Section 307 of IPC) is not made out. 8

I have heard counsel for the parties and have gone through the available records of the case.

It is not in dispute that the petitioner came to be arrested on 18.08.2025 whereinafter investigation was carried out and challan was presented on 24.11.2025. Total 17 prosecution witnesses have been cited and out of which none has been examined till date. It is, thus, indubitable that conclusion of the trial will take long. 3
