2. This is third bail application filed by the applicant under Section
483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (439 of Cr.P.C.) as he/she is

4. Counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has
completed around more than 9 months and he is also closed to completed the
minimum sentence of one year as he is lodged in jail since 03/04/2025 and
final conclusion of the trial is likely to take sufficient long time, therefore, it
is prayed that the application be allowed and the applicant be released on
bail.
5. Counsel for the respondent / State, on the other hand has opposed
the prayer and it is submitted that the CCTV footage of the incident is also
available and the complainant was a policeman and was managing the traffic
when the incident took place and thus, no case for grant of bail is made out.
6. Having considered the rival submissions and perusal of the case
diary, and also considering the earlier order of dismissal, this Court does not
find it to be a fit case for grant of bail on account of the brazen assault made
by the applicant in broad daylight on police personnel for no apparent
reason.
7. M.Cr.C. is accordingly dismissed. However, the applicant can renew
his prayer as earlier directed to him.
