JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajit Kumar, Sr. Advocate. : Mr. Abishek Abhi, Advocate. For the State : Ms. Sushma Aind, A.P.P. ------ 03/ 17.10.2025 Heard learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. appearing for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Telaiya P.S.

Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not named in the FIR and his name has come on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused Suraj Kumar Rana. He submits that the said Suraj Kumar Rana has been allowed the regular bail. He then submits that the trial of the other accused persons has already been commenced and the petitioner is also intended to join the trial. He next submits that there is no allegation and evidence against the petitioner to suggest that the petitioner has assaulted the deceased. He submits that in the medical evidence, it has come that the death has occurred due to strangulation and not from any beating or physical assault or injury, as has been narrated in the confessional statement, which is the contrary confessional statement. On these [2025:JHHC:32258] -2- grounds, he submits that the petitioner may kindly be provided the privilege of anticipatory bail. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the name of the petitioner has come on the basis of confessional statement. 5. Considering that the name of the petitioner has come on the basis of confessional statement and other co-accused person has already been granted regular bail and further the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para- 27 of the petition, I am inclined to provide privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is hereby directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today, and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Koderma, in connection with Telaiya P.S.
