Heard the parties.
2.
This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.4928 of 2019, for offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 34 and 120B IPC. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Ranchi.
3.
Learned A.P.P. representing the State and learned counsel representing the informant oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail.
4.
The allegation against the petitioners is of usurping the landed property of the complainant by hatching a conspiracy.
5.
Admitted fact is that the case arises out of a complaint. Further, the cognizance has already been taken in this case.
6.
In a complaint case, there is no question of custodial
2025:JHHC:16504 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.
7.
Further, the impugned order does not suggest any of the aforesaid situation. Thus, the petitioners are directed to appear before the learned Trial Court, who will consider the aforesaid fact and pass the appropriate order in accordance with law taking into
consideration the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in 2022 (10) SCC 51, Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation & Another, reported in 2024 (9) SCC 198.
8.
With the aforesaid observation, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of.
