Telmar, District Nalanda, Bihar. … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. … … Opposite Party ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Santosh Kumar Soni, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, A.P.P. ----- 04/ 02.05.2025 Heard the parties. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Chauparan P.S. Case No.421 of 2024, for offences under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 303(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned J.M. Hazaribag. 3. Learned counsel representing the petitioner very fairly submits that the offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable for a period less than seven years. He submits that very recently, a notice under Section 35(3) of the BNSS has been issued to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the anticipatory bail application. 5. Since the notice under Section 35(3) of the BNSS has been issued, it is quite clear that the Investigating Officer does not want to arrest the petitioner. Thus, this Court is of the opinion that there is no apprehension of the petitioner being arrested. 6. In view of the aforesaid observation, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of.
