Case No. 56 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 140(3) and 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that there is matrimonial dispute between the informant and her husband namely Chiranjiv Majumdar. He next submits that the dispute is also there for the child between the informant and her husband, as the husband of the informant has taken his son Aayushman, who is aged about 13 years, for that the FIR has been lodged alleging to be the case of kidnapping. He further submits that the petitioner happened to be the uncle of the said boy. He draws the attention of the court to the letter annexed with the FIR and submits that the boy namely Aayushman has himself stated that he wants to reside with his father for sometimes. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State and learned counsel [2026:JHHC:17339] -2- appearing for the informant have jointly opposed the prayer and submit that the allegation is there of forcefully taking away the son of the informant by the father of the said boy from the custody of the informant. Learned counsel appearing for the informant further adds that the petitioner has not replied to the notice issued under Section 35(3) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and in fact his involvement is also there in taking away the son of the informant. On these grounds, they submit that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. The letter, which is the part of the FIR of Aayushman, who is the son of the informant, clearly suggests that the said boy is aged about 13 years and has stated that he wants to reside with his father for sometimes and further there is matrimonial dispute between the informant and her husband and the petitioner happened to be the uncle of the said boy and also there is no specific allegation against this petitioner. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, above named. 7. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of his surrender / arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj, in connection with Sahibganj (T) P.S.
