Qutubuddin, resident of Cross Road No.14, Hill Top, near Aysha Petrol Pump, Jawahar Nagar, P.O. and P.S. Mango, District East Singhbhum .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI For the Petitioner : Ms. Seema Kumari Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Someshwar Roy, A.P.P. ------ 02/01.07.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Adityapur P.S. Case No. 28 of 2026, registered for the offence under Section 75(2) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Seraikella Kharsawan. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case and what has happened, that was consensual in nature. She also submits that the allegations are made, however, even the petitioner has not gone to the house of the victim. On these grounds, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that there are serious allegations against the petitioner and even he has taken the nude photographs of the victim and threatened to made it viral. He also submits that in paragraphs 41 and 42 of the case diary, the victim as well as mother of the victim have supported the allegation. 5. On perusal of the FIR, it transpires that there are serious allegations against this petitioner of taking nude photographs and threatened to make it viral. Even if the argument of the learned counsel appearing for petitioner is accepted that what has happened that was 2026:JHHC:19160 consensual, the petitioner cannot be granted anticipatory bail as there is allegation of taking such video and threatening to make it viral. Friendship is one of the aspect however, taking the dignity and privacy of a lady is a serious thing. In the attending facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner, is hereby, rejected.
