CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER

5 24-02-2026 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

2. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Complaint Case No. 89 of 2017, disclosing offences under Sections 323 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code.

3. As per the allegation, the complainant purchased a land from the petitioner in the year 2013 through a registered sale deed for a consideration of Rs. 3,13,000/-. It is further alleged that thereafter the petitioner started demanding an additional sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- in respect of the said land. Upon the complainant’s refusal to pay the additional amount, the petitioner came to the complainant’s house, abused him, and forcibly took away Rs. 15,000/- in cash and a gold chain belonging to his wife.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated due to a land dispute between the parties. The land in question had already been sold to the complainant by a registered sale deed dated 18.11.2015, and the complainant has subsequently transferred the same to Smt. Priya Kumari on 19.05.2023. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner had no knowledge of the institution of the case, when he came to know about it, promptly filed the present application for anticipatory bail.

5. Regards being had to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the nature of allegation and the fact that land dispute is there between the parties, I am inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

6. This application is, accordingly, allowed.

7. Let the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the Court below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrat-IV, Barh, (Patna), in connection with Complaint Case No. 89 of 2017, subject to the condition laid down under Section 438 (2)

of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
