For the Petitioners

---- 2/27.11.2025 Heard learned counsels for petitioners and for the State.
2.
The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No.195 of 2025, for offence registered under section 108, 3(5) of BNS, 2023, pending in court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar.
3.
Learned counsel for petitioners submits that the petitioners and the informant’s side are having land dispute and the allegations are made that father of the informant has committed suicide by way of jumping into the well. He further submits that what role the petitioners have played to instigate the deceased to take such step is not disclosed in the FIR. He then submits that apart from that, there is no allegation against the petitioners and in the post-mortem report the cause of death is said to be drowning into the well and the opinion of the doctor is also reserved. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted.
4. Learned State counsel opposes the prayer and submits that the
2025:JHHC:35500 2 A.B.A. No.6716 of 2025
land dispute is there and due to the petitioners’ instigation, the father of the informant has committed suicide.
5. Looking to the contents of the FIR, it is not clear as to how these petitioners have instigated the father of the informant to take such step and the cause of the death is said to be drowning into the well and that has come in the order of the learned Sessions Judge and the opinion of the doctor is reserved, and in the attending facts and circumstances of the present case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioners.
6. Accordingly, both the petitioners, above named, are hereby
directed to surrender before learned court within three weeks from today, and in event of their surrender/arrest, both the petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar, in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No.195 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under section 482(2) of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.
