2025:JHHC:11842 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.2451 of 2025 ------ Santosh Yadav @ Santosh Kumar Yadav, son of Ramdayal Yadav @ Ramdev Yadav, resident of Village Tuti, P.O. Besra, P.S. Balumath, District Latehar. … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand. … … Opposite Party ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Rahul Ranjan, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, A.P.P. ----- 05/ 22.04.2025 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 Simariya P.S. Case No.194 of 2024, for offences under Sections 223, 271, 281 and 132 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The case is presently pending before the Court of learned A.C.J.M., Chatra. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. The allegation against the petitioner is that while driving a vehicle, he entered into a “No Entry” zone despite the direction which was issued. 5. The petitioner claims that he has appeared before the Investigating Officer after receipt of Notice under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, and got his statement recorded. 6. If that be so, this Court fails to understand where is the 2025:JHHC:11842 2 apprehension of arrest of the petitioner. Thus, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the Trial Court and pray for regular bail, which will be considered as per the judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, on this issue. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Prashant. Cp-3
