Opposite Party ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Rahul Ranjan, Advocate For the State : Mr. Ajay Kr. Pathak, A.P.P. ----- 02/ 22.04.2025 This Anticipatory Bail Application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, has been filed by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Saraidhela P.S. Case No.250 of 2024, for offences under Sections 126(2), 127(2), 121(1), 132, 221, 224, 352 and 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned C.J.M., Dhanbad. 2. Heard the parties at length. 3. Learned counsel representing the petitioner submits that it has nowhere been mentioned that in which police case, the police went to arrest the petitioner – Lilambar Mandal. It is stated that the petitioner and others thought that these police personnel who are in civil dress were kidnappers. He further submitted that the petitioner has been made an escape goat and the allegation levelled against him is general and omnibus. 4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the anticipatory bail application. 5. The fact remains that this petitioner and others 2025:JHHC:12058 2 assaulted the police while they were discharging their official duties i.e. trying to arrest a person against whom a criminal case was lodged. 6. Considering the fact that there was an assault by the petitioner upon police personnel, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application is dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant. Cp-3
