                                                              ORDER

Applicant has filed this second bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 on behalf of the applicant for grant of regular bail relating to Crime No.262/2022 registered at P.S. Khargone, District Khargone (M.P.) for commission of offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 336, 323, 427, 435 and 436 of IPC. He is in jail since 08.05.2022. His earlier bail application was dismissed on merit by this Court vide order dated 26.08.2022 passed in MCRC No.27175/2022.

2. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this matter. Applicant is suffering jail incarceration since 08.05.2022. Investigation is over and charge-sheet has been filed. Prosecution has not examined any witness. Final conclusion of trial will take considerable long time. Under the above circumstances, prayer for grant of bail may be considered on such terms and conditions, as this Court deems fit and proper.

3. Per-contra, learned counsel for respondent/State opposes the bail application and prays for its rejection by submitting that there is no material change in the circumstances in which applicant may be enlarged on bail. His earlier bail application was dismissed on merit after considering all the facts and circumstances of case. Hence, present applicant does not deserve for bail.

4. Learned counsel for objector also opposes the bail application and prays for its rejection.

5. Perused the case diary as well as the impugned order of the court below.

6. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, arguments advanced by counsel for the parties, nature and gravity of allegation as also taking note of the fact that applicant's first bail application was dismissed on merit after considering all the facts and circumstances of case and evidence available on record and also considering all the defence taken by the applicant; after rejecting his earlier bail application only charge-sheet has been filed, which cannot be considered; there is no material change in the circumstances in which applicant may be entitled for bail.

7. Accordingly, the second repeated bail application filed by the applicant Signature Not Verified under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. is rejected.
