Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). …… CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, AddI. P.P. …...... 05/ 01.07.2025: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Surksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences under Sections 365/34 of IPC. 3. The learned APP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. This is a case where the informant’s husband was abducted. 5. In this case, two of the accused are facing trial in S.T. Case No.44 of 2024. The statement of the informant was recorded as she was produced as P.W.-1. The said statement has been brought on record. As per the said statement she has been declared hostile as she stated that when her husband has returned, he stated that as a guest he was staying in the house of this petitioner. Further, the victim has also been examined in the said case as P.W.-2, who was also declared hostile. 6. Considering the aforesaid fact, I feel that this is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 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) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned J.M. 1st Class, Lohardaga, in connection with Kuru P.S. Case No.55 of 2022, 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. 8. 8. The petitioner should cooperate and join investigation and appear before the Investigating Officer once in 15 days. (ANANDA SEN, J.) R.S./
