2025:JHHC:19624 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.3798 of 2025 ------ 1. Chunka Hansda, S/o Sanat Hansda. 2. Devashish Hansda @ Debasi Hansda, S/o Sanat Hansda. … … Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand. … … Opposite Party ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Ms. Vidhika Saboo, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Mohua Palit, A.P.P. ----- 05/ 17.07.2025 Heard the parties. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest in connection with Ramgarh P.S. Case No.70 of 2024, for offences under Sections 191(1), 190, 127, 109, 132, 121(1), 352 and 351(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Dumka. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. A Gram Sabha meeting was convened to select the Anganwadi Sevika. After the selection was made, it is alleged that these petitioners and others formed an unlawful assembly and tried to assault the BDO and CDPO, Ramgarh, who were in the Gram Sabha. 5. Considering the fact that these petitioners by forming an unlawful assembly had tried to obstruct the Government officials from performing their duties, I am not inclined to grant 2025:JHHC:19624 anticipatory bail to these petitioners. 6. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands dismissed. 7. The petitioners are directed to appear before the concerned Court, who will consider his case by taking into consideration their individual overt act and pass an appropriate order. (ANANDA SEN, J.)
