Case No. 61 of 2023 on 17.11.2025, local residents and general public gathered at the spot and raised voices against the illegal action as the petitioners have been living with his parents since 2001, whereas the informant was adamant to capture one room of 200 Sq. feet with the league of local authorities and when the authorities came to know that the public has called upon the Media, they fled away like a gang of criminals. He next submits that on the very next day, i.e. on 18.11.2025, the petitioners have approached the Deputy Commissioner,

Ranchi and stated all the material facts that he is living at Tupudana, Dhurwa, Ranchi since 2001 after purchasing the landed property and on going through the documents, the Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi has given the direction to stay the execution till the next date of hearing and that case is still pending. He then submits that the informant himself has filed a petition for recalling of the said stay, which is also pending. He further submits that by way of Annexure-4 series, the land in question has been purchased by the petitioners through the registered sale deed. He also submits that in the similar circumstance, the other co-accused has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in A.B.A. No. 3513 of 2026. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioners. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of forcibly taking the possession over the land in question. On this ground, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. In para-12 of the petition, it has been stated that the Deputy Commissioner, Ranchi has stayed the execution proceeding and notice has been issued and the informant has also filed a petition for recall of the stay and further from Annexure-4 series, prima facie, it transpires that the petitioners have purchased the land in question and further in the similar circumstance, the other co-accused has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in the aforementioned A.B.A.

In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 7. Accordingly, the above-named petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrender, they shall be enlarged on bail
