On these grounds, she submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted to the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of taking money against the petitioner and in view of that, the prayer for anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. ( 2026:JHHC:25138 ) -2- A.B.A. No. 4069 of 2026 5. Considering that the petitioner and informant, both are cousin brother and sister and in the FIR, only allegation is made of handing over Rs.12 Lakhs to the petitioner and from perusal of the FIR, it transpires that the intention of cheating from very beginning is not prima facie made out and further it has been pointed out that there is land dispute between both the sides and one case is also going on in the district of Khunti and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. 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 sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Khunti in connection with Murhu P.S. Case No.42/2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated: 20th August, 2026 Ajay/
