The gist of accusation in this case is that on 13.01.2025, one Shri Prashanta Pratim Bora, had lodged an FIR naming 6(six) accused persons therein, including the present petitioner, had inter alia, alleged that the accused persons named in the FIR had assaulted the father of the informant, namely, Shri Mahendra Bora, and caused grievous injuries on his person.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner, Ms. T. Som has submitted that the petitioner is not involved in the offence, alleged in the FIR. She submits that though the petitioner was present at the place of incident, he is the owner of the vehicle and he only took the co-accused Shri Pranab Dutta to police station and apart from that, he has no role in the alleged offence. She also submits that the petitioner is ready to co-operate in the investigation.

Hence, he vehemently opposed the grant of bail to the present petitioner.

¶22

6. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for both the sides and have perused the Case Diary, which was produced before this Court. On perusal of the Case Diary, it appears that the victim sustained multiple fractures and grievous injuries on his person and there is sufficient incriminating material against the petitioner in the Case Diary.

¶23

7. In view of the above, this Court is not inclined to grant the benefit of a favourable order under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023 to the present petitioner at this stage.
