A.B.A. No. 7523 of 2025 (High Court of Jharkhand, Ranchi; decided 07.01.2026; Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) — Petitioner apprehending arrest in Kasmar PS Case No.76 of 2024 (sections 319(2) and 318(4) of BNS, 2023), pending before Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bermo at Tenughat, sought anticipatory bail. His earlier A.B.A. No.3149 of 2025 had been dismissed as withdrawn, and his subsequent anticipatory bail application before the learned Sessions Judge had been dismissed on the ground that there was no fresh ground. On the Court's enquiry through Video Conferencing, counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that there were no fresh grounds beyond those existing when the earlier A.B.A. was withdrawn. The Court accordingly disposed of the petition with liberty to the petitioner to seek regular bail by filing a proper petition before the learned court concerned, directing that any such regular bail petition be decided in accordance with law without prejudice to this order.
