Patratu (Barkakana) District Ramgarh, Jharkhand - Opposite Party. -------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Shiv Shankar Kumar, PP ------ 2/20.03.2026 This petition has filed for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the OP No.2 by order dated 26/9/2025 passed in ABA No. 5766 of 2025 in connection with Patratu (Barkakana) PS Case No. 154 of 2025. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that due to one wrong statement made by the counsel for the petitioner, the anticipatory bail has been granted to the opposite party No. 2. He submits that they have shown in the argument that specific allegation is against Ranjeet Saw of assault and obtained bail, which was a false statement. In that view of the matter, anticipatory bail may kindly be cancelled. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that this court considering the nature of allegation and facts, granted anticipatory bail. 4. Looking into the contents of the FIR, it transpires that Ranjeet Saw is also named in the FIR, the allegations are there against all the accused persons of assault. 2026:JHHC:7941 2 5. Anticipatory bail has already been granted to the opposite party No. 2., it is well known that once the bail is granted, that can be cancelled on the cogent ground and it is settled law that bail once granted cannot be cancelled in a routine manner, it can be cancelled only on a ground which has arisen after the bail was granted and attempts are of tampering with the evidence. 6. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to cancel the anticipatory bail of O.P. No.2. 7. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) 20.03.2026 R.Kumar
