2025:JHHC:15597 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 3265 of 2025 ----- Lalmohan Bhagat, S/o Kabir Bhagat, R/o Village- Joreya, P.O.- Karanj, P.S.- Karanj, District- Gumla (Jharkhand) .... Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Kripa Shankar Nanda, Advocate For the State : Mr. Bhola Nath Ojha, AddI. P.P. …...... 02/ 16.06.2025: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Surksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences under Sections 69, 351(2), 351(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. From the F.I.R., it is apparent that since last few years, the victim who is aged about 27 years was having love affair with this petitioner. Petitioner had called the informant to hotel and thereafter, they established physical relationship. It is alleged that petitioner now has refused to marry the victim. 5. Considering the age of the victim and the petitioner and the fact that since last six years there was affair between the parties and only on refusal to marry this case has been lodged, I feel that this is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 6. 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 Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Gumla, in connection with Karanj P.S. Case No.05 of 2025, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his name or in the name of his ancestors in which he is having share and to that effect, he has to file an affidavit before the Trial Court indicating his share in the property.
