The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in connection with Pirtand P.S. Case No.26 of 2025 for the alleged offences registered under Sections 316(2), 318(4), 61, 352 and 351(2) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 pending in the Court of learned C.J.M., Giridih. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and the petitioners have lodged the case under Section 138 of Negotiable 2026:JHHC:10284 --2-- A.B.A. No. 1483 of 2026 Instruments Act against the informant and thereafter the present case has been lodged. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State and learned counsel appearing for the Informant through V.C. jointly opposed the prayer and submits that the petitioner has a modus operandi of cheating innocent persons by taking money and providing the cheque and not to return the money and the petitioners are having eight criminal antecedents of the same nature. 5. Considering that allegations are there against the petitioners of misappropriating the amount of Rs.22,06,000/- by way of duping and they used to take money and handover the cheque, however, the cheques are not being honoured subsequently and petitioner No.1 is having eight criminal antecedents and that has come in the order of learned Sessions Judge. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners, hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is hereby rejected.
