Opposite Party ---- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI --- For the Petitioners :- Mr. Arun Kumar, Advocate For the State :- Mr. Sardhu Mahto, Advocate For the Informant :- Mr. Saibal Kr Laik, Advocate ---- 2/28.01.2026 Heard learned counsels for petitioners and for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending his arrest in connection with Dhansar P.S. Case No.164 of 2025, for offence registered under section 126(2), 127(2), 115(2), 74, 79, 109(1), 351(2)/ 3(5) of BNS, 2023, pending in court of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Dhanbad. 3. Learned counsel for petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and there are general and omnibus allegations of assault. He also submits that one coaccused has been granted anticipatory bail in ABA No.7425 of 2025. On 2026:JHHC:2086 2 these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned State counsel opposes prayer and submits that allegations are there of molestation and assault. 5. Learned counsel for the informant submits that specific allegations are there against these petitioners of outraging the modesty and of assault. 6. Looking to the contents of the FIR, it transpires that there are allegations against the petitioner no.1 of molestation of the daughter of the informant and allegation is further there against the petitioner no.2 of assault by way of cycle-chain and pursuant to that the injury has been received. So far as the anticipatory bail of Chand Khan @ Phutka in ABA No.7425 of 2025 is concerned, that allegation is not against him, and in view of that, the case of the petitioner is not coming within the purview of parity, and in the attending facts and circumstances of the instant case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, as such prayer for anticipatory bail to the petitioners is hereby rejected and accordingly, A.B.A. No.437 of 2026 is, hereby, dismissed.
