Order

This third application for bail under Section 483 BNSS (439
Cr.P.C.) has been filed by the petitioner who has been arrested in
connection with F.I.R. No.120/2023, registered at Police Station
Bali, District Pali, for offences under Sections 341, 323, 336,
307/34 of IPC; and Sections 4/25 of Arms Act.
Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently
opposed the bail application.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner at the Bar and
perused the statements of the injured, Deetaram, recorded before

injuries allegedly caused by the petitioner are stated to be
grievous in nature and dangerous to life.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has been in judicial custody for more than two and a half years
and, therefore, considering the prolonged period of incarceration,
he may be enlarged on bail.
However, having regard to the seriousness and gravity of the
allegations levelled against the petitioner and further considering
that the statements of only three remaining prosecution witnesses
are yet to be recorded before the competent Criminal Court, this
Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.
Consequently, the present third bail application under
Section 483 of the BNSS (corresponding to Section 439 Cr.P.C.)
stands dismissed.
