Ratu, District –Ranchi (Jharkhand) … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Gaurav, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Nehala Sharmin, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 27.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Nagri P.S. Case No.133 of 2023 registered under sections 302/452/34/120B of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons committed the murder of Subhash Munda. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. It is then submitted the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused persons. It is next submitted that the co-accused persons have been admitted to regular bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Spl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that there is direct and specific allegation against the petitioner of having played a key role in the murder of Subhash Munda and keeping the pistols used in the murder of Subhash Munda. It is next submitted that the custodial interrogation of the petitioners is required during the investigation of the case to find out the details of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners ought not to be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of having committed the murder of Subhash Munda in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons and the requirement of his custodial interrogation during the investigation of the case to find out the details of the case, this Court is not inclined to give the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail to the abovenamed petitioners is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Sonu/Gunjan-
