For the Informant : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate ------ Order No:-03 Dated:-12-12-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Dhurwa P.S. Case No.104 of 2021 instituted under Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. This is the second journey of the petitioners with the prayer for anticipatory bail, earlier the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner no.1 was rejected vide order dated 09.09.2021 in A.B.A. No.6435 of 2021 and petitioner no.2 was rejected vide order dated 21.09.2021 in A.B.A. No.6986 of 2021. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the fresh ground is that, in the meanwhile, the trial of the co-accused son of the petitioner no.1 has been completed and he has been acquitted vide judgment dated 19.03.2025 in S.T. No.353 of 2021 passed by the learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-XX, Ranchi. Drawing attention of this Court to the depositions of the witnesses in that trial, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that PW-1 to 4 who are the material witnesses of the case were all declared hostile as they did not support the case of the prosecution. It is next submitted that PW-1 in para-10, PW-2 in Para-10, PW-3 in Para-11 and PW-4 in Para-10 have all stated that the son of the petitioner no.1 and brother of the petitioner no.2 was pulling on well with his wife and having good relationship with her. It is further submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to cooperate with the investigation of the case and undertake not to annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the pendency of the case, hence, the petitioners be granted the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the informant submits that the informant has no objection for grant of anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to grant the privileges of anticipatory bail to the above-named petitioners. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Ranchi, in connection with Dhurwa P.S. Case No.104 of 2021 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers and will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
