2026:JHHC:16014 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A. B. A. No. 2867 of 2026 --- 1. Shabnam Khatoon 2. Islam Ansari … … Petitioner(s) Versus The State of Jharkhand … … Opposite Party(s) --- CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY --- For the Petitioner(s) : Md. Faruque Ansari, Advocate For the Opposite Party(s) : A.P.P. --- 2/02.06.2026 Heard Mr. Md. Faruque Ansari, learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Chainpur P.S. Case No. 194 of 2025. It has been alleged that the father of the informant was murdered. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioner no.1 is the granddaughter of the deceased while the petitioner no. 2 is the husband of the petitioner no. 1. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners have been implicated merely on suspicion. It has been submitted that so far as the tower location of the petitioner no. 2 is concerned, the same was found at Raipur while the tower location of the petitioner no. 1 was found near the place of occurrence. Learned counsel adds that in fact it was Shamsher Ansari who was the main accused as based on his confessional statement, a Kulhari which was used in commission of the murder was recovered. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. It appears that the petitioners have been implicated primarily on the basis of suspicion being related to the deceased without there being any material in support of such suspicion. Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners above named are directed to surrender in the court below within four weeks and pray for bail, and in 2026:JHHC:16014 that event, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Palamau at Daltonganj in connection with Chainpur P.S. Case No. 194 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. This application stands allowed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J) 02.06.2026.
