Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI For the Petitioners : Mr. Manoj Kumar No.2, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shashi Kumar Verma, A.P.P. ------ 02/14.05.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Patan P.S. Case No. 141 of 2024, registered for the offence under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 117(2), 109, 351(2) and 3/5 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Palamau at Daltonganj. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 has earlier instituted a case against the informant and others regarding murder of his son being S.T. Case No.201 of 2022 and S.T. Case No.12 of 2026 which are presently pending. He further submits that the petitioner no.1 is aged about 76 years and ailing and petitioner no.2 is a lady. He next submits that the informant is aged about 72 years and the alleged occurrence is said to be dated 12.11.2024 wherein the FIR has been lodged on 19.11.2024 that is after seven days. On these grounds, he submits that the anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the allegations of assault are there. 5. Considering that earlier petitioner no.1 has instituted a case against the informant with regard to murder of his son and petitioner no.2 is said to be his daughter and she is aged about 37 years and she has also been implicated in the case, prima facie it appears that due to previous dispute, the petitioners 2026:JHHC:14931 have been implicated in the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned Court within two 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) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Palamau at Daltonganj, in connection with Patan P.S. Case No. 141 of 2024, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Anit Uploaded 16.05.2026
