JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. K.S. Nanda, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Someshwar Roy, A.P.P. ------ 03/ 09.07.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending her arrest in connection with Chalkusha P.S. Case No. 71 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 191 (2), 191(3), 190, 115(2), 126(2), 109, 103(1) and 352 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Hazaribag. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a lady and the allegation of making assault is relating to the dispute of a road. He next submits that although, the husband of the informant has died in the RIMS, Ranchi, however, allegations are not direct against this petitioner. He further submits that one lady has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge in A.B.P. No. 70 of 2026. He then submits that the chargesheet has already been submitted against one Jivlal Sao and he is facing the trial in S.T. No. 103 of 2026. He also submits that one witness Sarita Devi has been examined in the said S.T. case, which is contained in page-22 of the petition, wherein she has not taken the [ 2026:JHHC:20317 ] -2- name of this petitioner, rather she has taken the name of other co- accused persons including the said lady, who has been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations of making assault are there against all the accused persons. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Although, there is allegation of assault against all the accused persons, however, the allegations are general and omnibus and further the petitioner happened to be a lady and one lady has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge in the aforementioned A.B.P. and further in the separated trial, one witness namely Sarita Devi has been examined, which is contained in page-22 of the petition, wherein she has not taken the name of this petitioner, rather she has taken the name of other co-accused persons including the said lady, who has been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge. Further the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para-18 of the petition. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of her arrest or surrender, she shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two [ 2026:JHHC:20317 ] -3- sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Hazaribag, in connection with Chalkusha P.S. Case No. 71 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated:-09.07.2026 Amitesh/-
