Petitioners -- Versus -- The State of Jharkhand .... Opposite Party ---- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI --- For the Petitioners :- Md. Sajid Yunus, Advocate For the State :- Mr. Rakesh Ranjan, Advocate ---- 02/17.09.2026 Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as well as the learned counsel appearing for the State. 2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Hazaribag Mufassil P.S. Case No.216 of 2019, for the alleged offences registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 324, 307, 385 and 379 of Indian Penal Code pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the FIR has been instituted against 14 named persons, however, the police has investigated the matter and charge-sheet has been submitted against 9 persons and charge-sheet has not been submitted against these petitioners. He further submits that 2026:JHHC:28400 --2-- A.B.A. No. 5183 of 2026 however the learned Court has been pleased to take cognizance. He then submits that there are general and omnibus allegation of assault in the FIR and in the FIR specific allegation of assault is against Bablu Singh and Asho Singh. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that the learned Court has been pleased to take cognizance against the petitioners later on after submission of charge-sheet. 5. On perusal of the FIR, it transpires that there is direct allegation of assault upon Bablu Singh and Asho Singh and so far these petitioners are concerned that allegations are not there and even the charge-sheet has not been submitted against the petitioners, however, the learned Court has been pleased to take cognizance. There is no doubt that the learned Court can take a cognizance differing with the charge-sheet, however, reasons are required to be disclosed what are the prima facie materials against the persons, who have not been forwarded for trial to take cognizance. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, the petitioners, above named, are hereby directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of their surrender/arrest, the petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing 2026:JHHC:28400 --3-- A.B.A. No. 5183 of 2026 bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Hazaribagh in connection with Hazaribag Mufassil P.S.
