Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, A.P.P. ----- 10/ 17.04.2025 Heard the parties. 2. These anticipatory bail applications under Section 438 and 440 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest for offences registered under Sections 306 and 34 IPC. 3. Opportunity was given to the State to oppose the anticipatory bail applications, which the State availed and opposed. 4. The petitioner in the first case (A.B.A. No.3980 of 2024), is the grandson of the deceased and the petitioner in the second case (A.B.A. No.4065 of 2024), is an elder son of the 2025:JHHC:11584 2 deceased. The informant is none but the younger son of the deceased. 5. In the F.I.R., a vague allegation has been made that because of the torture of these two petitioners, the deceased has consumed poison. What is the nature of the torture and what was the proximity of the said torture has not been mentioned and absolutely a vague allegation has been made. Thus, I am inclined to release these petitioners on anticipatory bail. 6. Accordingly, these Anticipatory Bail Applications stand allowed. The petitioners, above named, are 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 their surrender or arrest, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar, in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No.31 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a close relative of the petitioners 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.
