06/07.05.2025: These are applications filed by the petitioners praying for grant of anticipatory bail in terms of sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as the petitioners have been allegedly implicated in connection with Complaint Case no. 412 of 2022 registered for the offences punishable under sections 406, 420 and 34 of IPC, pending in the court of learned C.J.M., Bokaro. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of OP No.2. 3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of OP No.2 have opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. 4. Admitted fact is that both the cases arise out of a complaint. The cognizance has been taken and summons has also been issued against the petitioners. In a complaint case, there is no question of custodial interrogation. The only fact which the court has to be assured of is whether the accused will

face the trial or not or whether there is any chance of tampering with the evidence. 5. The impugned order does not suggest any of the aforesaid situations.
Since there is no necessity of custodial interrogation, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned court below and upon their surrender the learned court below will consider their case as per law. 6. The above noted anticipatory bail applications are thus disposed of. KNR/ (ANANDA SEN, J. )
