                                       ORAL ORDER

4   24-06-2026                   1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                 2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Section 137(2) of

                   the BNS and later on Sections 103(1), 238(A), 61 and 3(5) of

                   the BNS were added.

                                 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                   petitioner no.1, being woman, has been falsely implicated in the

                   instant case based on suspicion. It is also submitted that from

                   perusal of the order impugned, it would manifest that the same

                   records that accused persons were arrested who in their

                   confessional statement disclosed that deceased had consumed

                   liquor and thereafter tried to act inappropriately with the

                                                        2/2




                      petitioner no. 1 who is wife of Manjhla Marandi, as such,

                      Manjhla       Marandi       and     Bajum       Soren    together      started

                      strangulating the deceased, it is thus submitted that as far as

                      petitioners are concerned, no specific allegation is alleged

                      against them, rather the occurrence is alleged to have taken

                      place for the reason that deceased acted inappropriately with the

                      petitioner no. 1 which angered her husband and Bajum Soren.

                                   4. Learned       A.P.P.    for     the   State   opposes     the

                      anticipatory bail application of the petitioners and submits that

                      process under Sections 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. have been executed,

                      on which the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

                      petitioners seeks permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail

                      application with liberty to the petitioners to surrender and seek

                      regular bail.

                                   5. Permission is accorded.

                                   6. Accordingly,         the    instant     anticipatory     bail

                      application is dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty

                      aforesaid.
