2025:JHHC:15268 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.6577 of 2024 ------ Laljit Prasad @ Lal Jeet Prasad @ Laljit Singh, son of Jatan Prasad Singh, R/o 9, Jamalpur, Dhiraganj, Post Gamharia, Police Station Gamharia, District Seraikella Kharsawan. … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. … … Opposite Party ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rakesh Kumar Sinha, A.P.P. ----- 04/ 12.06.2025 Heard the parties. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences under Sections 302/34 IPC. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. It is alleged that the son-in-law of this petitioner was murdered. This petitioner along with his daughter i.e. the wife of the deceased and others have been made accused. 5. After going through the case diary and the documents, I find that this petitioner is aged about 73 years. If the confessional statement of daughter of this petitioner i.e. the wife of the deceased is considered, then also I find nothing to implicate this petitioner in the offence. 6. Considering the fact that there is no sufficient material against the petitioner, I am inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. 2025:JHHC:15268 2 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed. The petitioner, above named, is 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 his surrender or arrest, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate at Seraikella, in connection with Adityapur P.S. Case No.290 of 2023, 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.
