This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 406 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Allegation against the petitioner in the FIR is that the petitioner entered into an agreement with the informant to sale 4.75 decimal of land. It is also alleged that the petitioner has taken money from her. When the informant tried to construct her house one Manoj Jaiswal came and obstructed her saying that he had entered into an agreement with this petitioner as he intend to purchase the said land. It is alleged that this petitioner was informed and later on this petitioner refused to 2025:JHHC:14750 2 register the land and also refused to return the money and on that basis FIR was lodged. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire dispute is civil in nature. On instructions, he submits that his client has never entered into any agreement with Manoj Jaiswal. He further submits that his client is ready to refund the entire consideration amount along with the construction cost if the possession of the land is handed over to him. 5. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 6. Considering the submission made above and the fact that the dispute is primarily civil in nature which relates to execution of the sale deed in respect of purchase of land and agreement which has been entered between the parties and especially submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner on instruction of the petitioner, this Court finds it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed. The petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and on the event of his surrender or arrest, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned JMFC, Ranchi, in connection with Ratu P.S.
