Mr. Gaurav, Advocate For the State : Mr. Satish Kumar Keshri, A.P.P. Mr. Vishal Kumar Rai, Advocate Mr. Pancham Oraon, ASI, Khunti Police Station, Khunti (Investigating Officer) ----- 04/ 06.05.2025 I.A. No.5520 of 2025 This interlocutory application has been filed for withdrawal of this anticipatory bail application on behalf of petitioner No.1 – Deepak Kumar. 2. Learned counsel representing the petitioner No.1 submits that petitioner No.1 has been arrested and also enlarged on regular bail by the learned Court below vide order dated 04.04.2025. 3. Considering the aforesaid submission, this anticipatory bail application qua petitioner No.1 – Deepak Kumar, stands dismissed as withdrawn. 4. Accordingly, this interlocutory application for withdrawing the anticipatory bail application qua petitioner No.1 stands disposed of. Now this anticipatory bail application is confined only with petitioner No.2 - Khushbu Jaiswal @ Khushbo Jaiswal @ Khusbu. 2025:JHHC:13696 2 5. Petitioner No.2 by this anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, prays for anticipatory bail apprehending her arrest for offences under Sections 420, 406 IPC and Section 138 of the N.I. Act. 6. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the anticipatory bail application. 7. Petitioner No.2 is the wife of petitioner No.1. The allegation is that the informant had given a loan to the petitioners but the petitioners did not repay the same, rather handed over a cheque of Allahabad Bank but the cheque was staled as the Allahabad Bank already got merged as a result of which the cheque got dishonoured. 8. During the course of argument, learned counsel representing the informant submits that the petitioners had taken a loan and thereafter cheated by not repaying the same. On query, he submits that on earlier occasion also the informant had given loan to the petitioners when they had already refunded the same. 9. The aforesaid submission of the informant’s counsel clearly suggests that there was some ongoing transaction between the parties and they were in business relationship. Now warrant of arrest has been issued through the Court. 10. Considering the nature of allegation, I am inclined to enlarge petitioner No.2 - Khushbu Jaiswal @ Khushbo Jaiswal @ Khusbu on anticipatory bail. 11. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed. The petitioner No.2, above named, is directed to 2025:JHHC:13696 3 surrender before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and on the event of her surrender or arrest, she shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khunti, in connection with Khunti P.S. Case No.102 of 2024, 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, with a further condition that the petitioner should appear once in fifteen days before the Investigating Officer till the charge sheet is submitted and will cooperate with the investigation. 12. The presence of Investigating Officer is dispensed with. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant.Cp-3
