2025:JHHC:13613 -: 1 :- A.B.A. No.5965 of 2024 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI Α.Β.Α. Νο. 5965 of 2024 ---- Md. Sindbaz, S/o Md. Wazir, R/o Central Street Gali, Gwalatoli, P.O.- G.P.O., P.S. Hindpiri, Dist- Ranchi … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … … Opposite Party ---- For the Petitioner : Mr. Faiz Ur Rahman, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Achinto Sen, A.P.P. ---- 07/29.04.2025 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the State. 2. Through this anticipatory bail application filed under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, the petitioner, apprehending his arrest in connection with the Hindpiri Police Station Case No. 31 of 2024, for allegedly committing offence under Sections 457/380 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail. 3. The case of the prosecution is based on the fardbeyan of the informant, Moinuddin Ansari who in his report alleged that on 07.03.2024 he went out along with all his family members. Thereafter, on return on 09.03.2024 his younger brother found that several gold and silver ornaments worth Rs. 46.50 lakhs were missing from his house. 4. Learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner submits that the First Information Report is against unknown persons and no recovery has been from the petitioner. He further submits that based on the statement of some people he has been made accused in this case but those people are not made witnesses in this case. He also submits that the other accused persons, Md. Adil, Faisal Alam and Md. Kalim who have been chargsheeted, they have been granted bail by the learned court below. He lastly submitted that petitioner has duly complied with the notice given under Section 41 (A) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 5. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 6. After going through the impugned order, I find that the charge sheet has been submitted against two other accused but the investigation is pending against this petitioner. From the impugned order and the case diary (in paragraph No.9) it is clear that two persons 2025:JHHC:13613 -: 2 :- A.B.A. No.5965 of 2024 identified the petitioner in CCTV footage. The aforesaid fact is corroborated by the statements of the witnesses recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure at paragraphs 21 and 22 of the case diary. 7. Considering the nature of allegation and the materials gathered in course of investigation, I find that this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner, abovenamed, in connection with Hindpiri Police Station Case No. 31 of 2024, pending in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi, is rejected. 8. This anticipatory bail application is, accordingly, dismissed. (Ananda Sen, J.) Kumar/Cp-03
