JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI --------- For the Petitioners : Mrs. Jasvindar Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailesh Kr. Sinha, A.P.P. --------- 02/ Dated: 11.05.2026 1. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Sisai P.S. Case No. 135 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2), 351(2) and 351(3) of the BNS, pending in the Court of the learned Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Gumla. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners had earlier moved in this Court in A.B.A. No. 1330 of 2026 which was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioners for filing regular bail application. She next submits that on the fresh ground the present anticipatory bail has been filed, which may kindly be entertained and the anticipatory bail may be granted to the petitioners. Neutral Citation No. 2026:JHHC:14255 p. 2 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that there is no fresh ground to entertain the second anticipatory bail application and what has been stated in the petition those facts were already present at the time of withdrawing of the first anticipatory bail application with liberty to file regular bail petition. 5. Considering that the first anticipatory bail application has already been withdrawn after arguing on merit with liberty to file regular bail petition and in course of the argument, nothing new has been argued and what has been stated in the petition those grounds were already available when the first anticipatory bail application was withdrawn and it is well known when the fresh ground is not there, the second anticipatory bail cannot be maintained. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, their prayer for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected.
