( 2026:JHHC:495 ) -2- A.B.A. No. 7531 of 2025 5. Looking into the materials available on record, it transpires that the petitioners are legal heirs/successors of raiyat, namely, Chulahi Munshi. The petitioners have got no criminal antecedents, as disclosed in paragraph 19. It has been pointed out during the course of argument that Jamabandi is running in the name of both the sides and three of the co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in A.B.A. No.7224 of 2025 and A.B.A. No.7499 of 2025. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrender, they shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bokaro in connection with Chas P.S. Case No.350 of 2021, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated: 9th January, 2026 Ajay/
