Prosecution case, in brief, is that F.I.R was registered at Police Station Basantpur, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) against the present applicants along with other co-accused for the offence of abetting the commission of suicide by the deceased Ramkhilavan Sahu. The deceased committed suicide on 19/11/2025 and has left behind a suicide note wherein names of the present Applicants along with other co-accused persons is allegedly present. It has been stated in the said note that the present applicants extended a total monetary loan of 64,000/- (INR Sixty-Four Thousand), out of which payment ₹ of 50,000 (INR Fifty Thousand) was satisfied by the deceased and ₹ ₹14,000 (INR Fourteen Thousand) was due as outstanding. It is alleged against the present Applicants that they pressurized the deceased to return the outstanding amount, which he had borrowed from the applicants. Owing to the continuous pressure by the applicants and other co-accused, the deceased decided to take his own life by hanging from a tree. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant is innocent person and he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and he is falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the first anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 09.12.2025 in MCRCA No. 1936 of 2025, therefore second anticipatory bail application has been filed. It is also contended that co-accused namely Rajendra Golchha has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 08.01.2026 in MCRCA No.9 of 2026, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the present applicants. 5. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposed the prayer for 3 grant of anticipatory bail and submits that bail application of co- accused has also been rejected by this Court in MCRCA No.41 of 2026 vide order dated 09.01.2026, therefore applicants are not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused all of the documents taken on record. 7. Considering the facts & circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, and further the fact that first anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 09.12.2025 in MCRCA No.1936 of 2025, therefore second anticipatory bail application has been filed. It is also contended that co-accused namely Rajendra Golchha has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 08.01.2026 in MCRCA No.9 of 2026, therefore, I am inclined to extent the benefit of Section 482 of the B.N.S.S. to the applicants. 8. Accordingly, the instant MCRCA is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicants – Ramesh Paliwal and Umesh Paliwal on executing a personal bond with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the arresting Officer, he shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (a) The Applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court.
