2026:JHHC:15661 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A. B. A. No. 2784 of 2026 --- Baban Ram @ Baban Kumar … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … … Opposite Party --- CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY For the Petitioner : Mr. A.K. Kashyap, Sr. Advocate Ms. Pragati Narayan, Advocate. For the Opposite Party : A.P.P. --- 02/29.05.2026 Heard Ms. Pragati Narayan learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Chainpur P.S. Case No. 81 of 2026. It has been alleged that the accused persons had surrounded the informant and his cousin brother and had committed assault upon them as a result of which they had suffered injuries upon their person. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegations are general and omnibus in nature. It has been submitted that so far as the infliction of sword blow is concerned, the same is attributed to the present petitioner and Dadan Ram. Learned counsel adds that the some of the co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by the learned court below. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. It appears that it was the present petitioner who had given a sword blow over the left eye and the left side of the neck of the informant which led the informant to suffer grievous injuries and the case of the present petitioner is easily distinguishable from the co-accused persons who have been granted anticipatory bail as no specific role had been assigned to them unlike that of the petitioner. Regard being had to the above, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. This application stands rejected.
