JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI For the Petitioners : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Srivastava, A.P.P. ------ 02/08.07.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that by order dated 18.06.2026, the prayer for anticipatory bail has already been withdrawn. He submits that now the anticipatory bail application is confined to petitioner no.2-Patras Ekka. 3. The petitioner no.2-Patras Ekka is apprehending his arrest in connection with Gumla P.S. Case No. 160 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 61(2), 338 and 336(3) of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submit that the allegations are made against the petitioners of being an Agent of a Company dealing with the tractors. He submits allegation is made that petitioner has informed that 70% payment has to be made by the petitioner and 30% amount of the tractor will be paid by the said Company. He further submits that tractor has also been received by the informant and if Company is not paying 30% of amount, the petitioner is not liable. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the petitioner was working as an Agent of the said Company and in view of that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 2026:JHHC:20182 6. Considering that only allegation is made against the petitioner is that he is the Agent of the said Company and assurance was made that 30% amount of the tractor will be made by the said Company and admittedly, the tractor has been taken by the informant and allegations are made against the Company of not paying 30% amount of the tractor to the Bank, in the attending facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned court within two weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla, in connection with Gumla P.S.
