Case No. 54 of 2025, whereby and whereunder, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the appellant has been rejected. It has been alleged that the informant was an employee of BHC Networking Pvt. Ltd. and Rs. 25,000/- was taken on the allurement of providing a job, and the trainees were brutally treated by the owners of the company. It has further been alleged that two months prior to the lodging of the FIR, there was a dispute between the members of the management and the trainees were left abandoned, which resulted in the institution of the FIR. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant was working in a managerial capacity in the company. It has been submitted that several similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 37 of 2026 and Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 47 of 2026. 2026:JHHC:25347-DB 2 Learned A.P.P., though, has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the appellant but does not dispute the aforesaid contention. Regard being had to the nature of the allegations levelled against the appellant and in view of the fact that the allegations primarily seem to revolve around the main accused, Noshad Alam, we while setting aside the order dated 31.07.2026 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-III East Singhbhum, Jamshedpur in A.B.P. No. 960/2026, direct the appellant to surrender before the learned court below within a period of four weeks, and on his surrender, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamshedpur, in connection with Govindpur P.S.
