For the Informant : Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate ------ 02/13.04.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Chalkusha P.S. Case No. 71 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 190, 115(2), 126(2), 109, 103(1), 352 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Hazaribag. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case and the other co-accused have been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge. He submits that wife of this petitioner has also been granted anticipatory bail by the impugned order itself. On this ground, anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer and submits that there is direct allegation of assault on the head by this petitioner, pursuant to that the deceased had died. On this ground, the anticipatory may kindly be rejected. 5. So far the other co-accused persons are concerned, that allegations are not there against them. Even in the impugned order the wife of the informant has been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge on considering that aspect of the matter. So far this petitioner is concerned, allegations are there of assault. In the attending facts and circumstance, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this anticipatory bail is hereby rejected. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Anit Uploaded 16.04.2026
