2025:JHHC:18403 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.2689 of 2025 ------ Tapan Giri @ Arjun Reddy, S/o Harishankar Giri, resident of Digwar, near Durga Mandir, Marar, PO Marar, PS Mandu (Kuju), Ramgarh … … Petitioner(s) Versus The State of Jharkhand. … … Opposite Party(s) ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Piyush Kr. Roy, Advocate. For the State : Ms. Snehlika Bhagat, A.P.P. ----- 05/ 09.07.2025 Heard the parties. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 127(2), 140(1), 142, 61(2), 316(2), 318(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ramgarh in connection with Mandu PS Case No. 24 of 2025. 3. There is allegation of kidnapping against this petitioner. After going through the records, I find that the vehicle which was used belongs to the petitioner and the premises where the victim was kept also belongs to the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that both the vehicle and the premises was given on rent. The documents have been brought on record. 5. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 6. After going through the lease agreement, I find that the same cannot be considered by this Court as the same is in a plain paper and not in a non-judicial stamp. Further the said agreement is two days prior to the date of occurrence. The vehicle is a private vehicle which is alleged to have been given on hire which also could not have been done as per the law. 2025:JHHC:18403 2 7. Since the vehicle and the premises which was used in the offence belongs to the petitioner and the petitioner was in constant touch with the co-accused when the incident had taken place, this Court finds it not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands dismissed. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Tanuj/Cp-3
