Hehal, P.S. Sukhdeo Nagar, District- Ranchi. ..... … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand ..... … Opposite Party -------- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Nilesh Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Ajay Kumar Pathak, A.P.P. ------ 03/ 22.04.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Sukhdeonagar P.S. Case No. 514 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 191(2), 191(3), 132, 109, 126(2), 115(2), 324(4), 324(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 3 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate-XXXI, Ranchi. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the agitation was going on due to the death of a person in accident. He next submits that 100-150 unknown persons went to the police station and the allegation of ransacking is made. He then submits that the petitioner was not present on the spot. He next submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. He also submits that other co- accused persons have already been granted anticipatory bail in A.B.A. Nos. 6916 of 2025 and 258 of 2026 by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the allegations are there of ransacking at the [2026:JHHC:11760] -2- police station. 5. Considering that the allegation is there against 100-150 persons and there are general and omnibus allegations against all the accused persons and there is nothing specific against the petitioner, the agitation was going on due to road accident and the other co-accused have already been granted anticipatory bail in the aforesaid A.B.As 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, he 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-XXXI, Ranchi, in connection with Sukhdeonagar P.S. Case No. 514 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated:-22.04.2026 Amitesh/-
