Learned counsels for the State and informant jointly oppose the prayer and submits that serious allegations are there in the F.I.R that Rohit @ Kacha and one another boy was teasing the informant and when she has resisted then they called the petitioners and pursuant to that petitioners arrived and arms have been provided and thereafter assault has been made and in view of that anticipatory bail of the petitioners may kindly be rejected. 5. On perusal of F.I.R, it transpires that allegation of teasing is there against Rohit @ Kacha and Roshan Kumar and allegation of molestation is also there against Rohit @ Kacha and Roshan Kumar and when the informant called her mother and father thereafter Rohit has further called the petitioners and allegations are made that the petitioners arrived at the spot. Further allegation of assault is there against Rohit @ Kacha and Roshan Kumar pursuant to that grievous injury has been received by mother and brother of the informant. The mother of the informant Shobha Devi has given statement under section 180 of BNSS which is part of case diary and she has also stated that Roshan Kumar assaulted by way of sword and Rohit @ Kacha has assaulted her son by way of farsa. Thus, it is crystal clear that allegations of assault are there against Rohit @ Kacha and Roshan Kumar and not against the petitioners. The petitioners are father and uncle of Rohit and there are case and counter case. The petitioners have no criminal antecedent which is disclosed in para 16 of the petition. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the above named, petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of their surrender / arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to ( 2026:JHHC:19335 ) the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Jamshedpur, in connection with Telco P.S.
