This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 & 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, have been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No.131 of 2024, for offence under Sections 126/191(3)/190/118(1)/109(1)/324/303 and 351 of the B.N.S., 2023. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar. 3. Since petitioner No.5 was already arrested, he has withdrawn this application, which is reflected in order dated 12.06.2025. 4. So far as the other co-accused persons are concerned, I find that there is direct allegation of assaulting the victims though the injuries are simple in nature. Since there is an allegation of assault by these petitioners, the petitioners have to appear before the concerned court. Once the petitioners appears before the concerned Court, the court will take into the consideration that on 2025:JHHC:18541 the facts of this case prima facie Section 109 is attracted or not. So far as the other offence and offence of theft is concerned, the allegations are general in nature and considering that no grievous hurt has been caused, Section 118 is also not applicable. If the petitioners appear, then the aforesaid observation will be considered by the learned court below while passing order in this case. 5. In view of the aforesaid observation, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Sandeep. Cp-3
