Appellant Versus The State of Jharkhand …… Respondent ----- CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE PRADEEP KUMAR SRIVASTAVA -------- For the Appellant :Mr. Vijay Kumar Roy, Advocate For the State :Mr. Sanat Kumar Jha, APP -------- Order No. 10/ Dated: 02nd December, 2025 Heard Mr. Vijay Kumar Roy, learned counsel for the appellant and learned APP for the State. 2. This appeal is directed against the order dated 26.04.2025 passed in A.B.P. No. 693 of 2025 arising out of Jamua P.S. Case No. 38 of 2025 passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-IX, Giridih whereby and whereunder the prayer for anticipatory bail has been rejected. 3. It has been alleged that the appellant as well as some other named accused persons were trafficking the women of the rural areas who are working in Banvasi Vikas Ashram Sanstha, Giridih to Rajasthan for the purposes of prostitution. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant that one of the victims namely Bhuti Devi has already been recovered and she has taken the name of Sushila Devi who had taken an amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- from her. Learned counsel further submits that save and except the suspicion, there is no material which has been collected in the course of investigation to indicate about the involvement of the appellant in human trafficking. 5. Learned APP has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the 2025:JHHC:35964-DB 2 Cr. A. (DB) No. 896 of 2025 appellant. 6. It seems that five girls were trafficked for the purposes of sale and only one victim namely Bhuti Devi has been recovered. Though, Bhuti Devi has not taken the name of the appellant but non-recovery of the four other victims does not entail us to grant anticipatory bail to the appellant. 7. Consequently, the present appeal stands dismissed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) (Pradeep Kumar Srivastava, J.) 02.12.2025 Basant/Arpit Uploaded on 03.12.2025
