IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 2748 of 2025
Harsh Kumar Choudhary, S/o Gopal Choudhary, R/o Sandi, Rajrappa Road, PO and PS Rajrappa, District Ramgarh. ….. Petitioner (s)
Versus The State of Jharkhand ….OP(s).
CORAM :
SRI ANANDA SEN, J.
------
For the petitioner(s) : Mr. Niraj Kumar Mishra, Advocate
For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, APP
-----
02/09.06.2025: This is an application filed by the petitioner praying for grant of anticipatory bail in terms of sections 482 and 484 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as the petitioner has been allegedly implicated in connection with Rajrappa PS Case No.24 of 2025, for the offences punishable under sections 61, 318 (4), 336(4), 338 of IPC, pending in the court of learned SDJM, Ramgarh.
2.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.
3.
The learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
4.
One Gopal Choudhary and Pawan Kumar Sharma being the power of attorney holder sold the land in question to this petitioner. It is alleged that the principal had forbade Gopal Choudhary and Pawan Kumar Sharma to act upon power of attorney as there was some dispute between them in respect of the
consideration amount. Since the said land was purchased by this petitioner he has been made accused in this case.
5.
The allegation clearly suggests that the petitioner is merely a purchaser of the land in question. Admittedly, Gopal Choudhary and Pawan Kumar Sharma are power of attorney holder.
6.
Considering the nature of allegations, I am inclined to release the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is
directed to surrender before the court below within three weeks from today and in the event of his surrender/arrest the learned court below is directed to enlarge him on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned SDJM,
