SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. A.K. Sahani, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Achinto Sen, A.P.P. …..... 06/18.07.2025: This anticipatory bail application under Section(s) 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for the offences registered under Section(s) 467, 468, 471, 420, 409 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No. 88 of 2025, pending in the court of learned CJM, Chatra. Heard the parties at length and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application. There is allegation that there was tampering of Register-II, kept in the record room in relation to the land record. In this case, three-member Committee was constituted and the said Committee also found that the involvement of the petitioner cannot be ruled out. As per A.P.P, during that period, this petitioner was posted there.
Considering the aforesaid facts and the fact that the matter relates to tampering with land records, I am not inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, above named, is rejected.
