Chaturvedy, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, A.P.P. For the Informant : Mr. K.S. Nanda, Advocate ------ 02/09.06.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Gumla P.S. Case No. 118 of 2026, registered for the offence under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2) and 3(5) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners’ case is arising out of Specific Performance Act however, FIR has been lodged. He further submits that the allegations are made that the land has not been transferred in favour of the informant however, Rs.13,50,000/- has been taken by the petitioners. He further submits that good sense has been prevailed between the parties and the petitioners have already returned a sum of Rs.12,50,000/- to the informant. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant jointly oppose the prayer and submit that in spite of taking money, land has not been transferred in favour of the informant. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the informant submits that only Rs.8,50,000/- has been returned to the informant and the statement of returning Rs.12,50,000/- by the counsel for the petitioner is not correct. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 6. Considering that the matter is arising out of non-transferring of the land and further the petitioners have returned Rs.12,50,000/- however, 2026:JHHC:16447 that amount is being disputed and admitted by the informant that only Rs.8,50,000/- has been returned, in the attending facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 7. 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) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla, in connection with Gumla P.S. Case No. 118 of 2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Anit Uploaded 11.06.2026
