Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner and deceased were doing business in partnership. He submits that in terms of compromise it has been decided that petitioner had to pay total amount of Rs. 7,50,000/- to the deceased and in view of that petitioner had paid Rs. 1,50,000/- on 19.05.2024, Rs. 50,000/- on 31.07.2024, Rs. 1,00,000/- on 17.04.2025 to the deceased and only Rs. 4,50,000/- had to be paid to the deceased. He submits that this fact has also come in the suicide note that due to non payment of the amount, suicide has been committed by the deceased. On these grounds, he submits that the petitioner may kindly be provided privilege of anticipatory bail. 4. Learned counsels for the State and informant oppose the prayer and submit that the petitioner has one criminal antecedent and money was not returned. 5. Looking into suicide note it transpires that amount has not been ( 2025:JHHC:27061 ) returned by the petitioner for that deceased has committed suicide. However, fact remains that certain amount has been returned as noted in the argument of the learned senior counsel for the petitioner and both the petitioner and deceased were in partnership business. 6. In view of above facts, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the above named, petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of his surrender / arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad, in connection with Dhansar P.S.
