Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P. …...... 04/ 30.04.2025: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. The present anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for the offences registered under Sections 306 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, the case is pending in the court of the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Dhanbad in connection with the Jogta P.S. Case No. 24 of 2025. 3. The prosecution case, as per the informant is that the petitioner, along with one Abhishek Kumar, threatened the informant’s son to implicate him in false case which allegedly led to his son’s committing suicide under mental pressure. A suicide note was reportedly left behind by the deceased. Additionally, it is alleged that the petitioner and other co-accused were demanding a sum of ₹1,00,000 from the informant’s son. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is lady and she has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that co- accused has already been granted bail in connection with the same case in A.B.A No. 7848 of 2024 on 07.01.2025. He further submits that from the contents of FIR, no case is made out under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. He lastly argued that petitioner has no criminal history. Thus, on these aforesaid grounds, he prays that the instant bail application should be allowed. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 6. Considering the submissions of the learned counsels and the facts and circumstances of this case and also the fact that exactly similarly situated co- accused has been granted the privilege of anticipatory bail by a coordinate bench of this court. I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands al- lowed. 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 her surrender or arrest, she shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, in connection with Jogta P.S. Case No. 24 of 2025, 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.
