Kairo, District Lohardaga …. …. Respondent(s) ---- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR ---- For the Appellant : Mr Jitendra Shankar Singh, Adv. For the State : Mrs. Kumari Rshmi, A.P.P For the Respondent No.2 : Mr. Suraj Prakash, Adv. ---- 06/Dated: 22nd April, 2026 1. Heard the parties. 2. The present appeal has been filed against the order dated 27.01.2025 passed by the learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-II-cum-Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Ranchi in A.B.P No.3032 of 2024, arising out of S.C/S.T P.S. Case No.49 of 2021, for the offence under Sections 341, 323, 353, 504 & 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3(1))(s) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The case is pending in the court of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-II-cum-Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Ranchi. 3. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant that even if the allegations are taken to be true, it appears that the matter is merely a simple dispute between the parties. This appellant has suffered injury also. There is a case and counter case between the parties. Notice under Section 41(A) has been issued to which, he has replied and submitted the injury report also. Even if the allegation is accepted, it is police personnel who have been disturbed in performing his duty, but the investigation is not on that land. It is nothing, but a misuse of the protective provision and that too by the police personnel. On that basis, prayer for anticipatory bail has been made. 4. Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the respondent No.2 have supported the allegation, but could not point out that any 2. Criminal Appeal (S.J) 763 of 20225 investigation has been conducted regarding the alleged disturbance caused by the appellant. The counter case is at a belated stage. 5. Considering the above facts, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the appellant. Accordingly, the appellant, named above, is directed to surrender in the trial court within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, and in the event of their arrest or surrender, they shall be enlarged on anticipatory bail, on their furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rs. Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-II-cum- Special Judge, SC/ST (PoA) Act, Ranchi in connection S.C/S.T P.S. Case No.49 of 2021, on the conditions as laid down under Section 482 of the B.N.S.S., 2023. Further, the appellants will submit self-attested photocopy of his/her/their Aadhaar Card(s) and also submit his/her/their mobile number(s) before the learned trial court which he/she/they will always keep active and will not change it without prior permission of the court, till conclusion of the case. 6. In the result, the present criminal appeal stands allowed and accordingly, disposed of. (Rajesh Kumar, J.) Dated: 22nd April, 2026 Raja/- Uploaded
