    CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY

    ——

    For the Petitioner : Mr. Indrajit Sinha, Advocate
    : Mr. Ankit Vishal, Advocate
    : Mr. Rishav Kumar, Advocate
    : Mr. Ajay Kr. Sah, Advocate
    : Ms. Rashika Bajaj, Advocate
    For the State : Mr. Vishwanath Roy, Spl.P.P.
    For the OP 2 : Mr. Deepak Kr. Singh, Advocate
    : Mr. Prashant Kr. Rai, Advocate

    ——

    Order No:-04 Dated:-10-04-2026
    Heard the parties.

    This Cr.M.P. has been filed invoking the jurisdiction of this Court
    under Section 528 read with Section 483(3) of the B.N.S.S., 2023 for
    cancellation of bail granted to the opposite party no.2 in terms of the order
    dated 16.01.2025 passed by this Court in A.B.A. No.104 of 2025.

    The brief facts of the case is that the allegation against the opposite
    party no.2 is that, the opposite party no.2 has made a fake Aadhar Card
    for grabbing the land of the informant by claiming to be the son of Raj
    Kumar Jaiswal and in the proceeding of A.B.A. No.104 of 2025, the
    opposite party no.2 filed a transfer certificate issued by Government
    Primary School, Nauj, Ranchi wherein the opposite party no.2 was
    described as the son of Raj Kumar Jaiswal.

    Considering the facts of this case, the opposite party no.2 was given
    the privilege of anticipatory bail vide order dated 16.01.2025 in A.B.A.
    No.104 of 2025 and consequent upon the same, the opposite party no.2
    furnished bail bond and was released on bail.

    Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the opposite party
    no.2 has filed Original Suit No.232 of 2024 where he has described himself
    to be the son of Pradeep Verma, hence, it is lastly submitted that the bail
    granted to the opposite party no.2 be cancelled.

    Learned counsel for the petitioner in support of his case relies upon
    the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Dalip
    Singh vs. State of U.P.
    reported in (2010) 2 SCC 114, wherein it was
    observed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India that it is now well
    established that a litigant, who attempts to pollute the stream of justice or
    who touches the pure fountain of justice with tainted hands, is not entitled
    to any relief, interim or final.

    Learned counsel for the petitioner next relies upon the judgment of
    the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case of Moti Lal Songara vs.
    Prem Prakash
    reported in (2013) 9 SCC 199, where it has been observed
    by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India that when an order has been
    obtained by practicing fraud and suppressing material facts before a
    Court of law to gain advantage, the said order cannot be allowed to stand.

    Learned Spl.P.P. appearing for the state and the learned counsel for
    the opposite party no.2 on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer
    and submit that the case itself has been registered on the allegation that
    the opposite party no.2 though is not the son of the Raj Kumar Jaiswal, but
    he is claiming to be the son of the Raj Kumar Jaiswal and that is to be
    adjudicated in that case itself, but when the case is yet to be tried, there is
    no justifiable reason for this Court during the pendency of the trial to
    cancel the bail on the self-same ground that the opposite party no.2 is not
    the son of Raj Kumar Jaiswal as that will amount to pre-judging the trial,
    which is pending before the trial Court, therefore, it is submitted that this
    Cr.M.P., being without any merit, be dismissed.

    Having heard the submissions made at the bar and after carefully
    going through the materials available in the record, it is pertinent to
    mention here that it is a settled principle of law as has been reiterated by
    this Court in the case of Jyotshna Sharma @ Jyotsana Anand vs. The
    State of Jharkhand & Others
    passed in Cr.M.P. No.2499 of 2021 dated
    01.04.2022 that the following are the grounds illustratively though not
    exhaustively; where bail granted to an accused can be cancelled:-

    (i) by indulging in similar criminal activity,

    (ii) interfering with the course of investigation,

    (iii) attempted to tamper with evidence or witnesses,

    (iv) threaten witnesses or indulge in similar activities which
    would hamper smooth investigation,

    (v) there is likelihood of their fleeing to another country,

    (vi) attempted to make themselves scarce by going
    underground or becoming unavailable to the investigating
    agency,

    (vii) attempted to place themselves beyond the reach of his
    surety, etc.

    Now coming to the facts of the case, there is no allegation against
    the opposite party no.2 of indulging in any act or omission which will
    make him liable for cancelation of his bail. The only allegation against the
    opposite party no.2 is that the defence of the opposite party no.2 that he is
    the son of Raj Kumar Jaiswal is a false one, hence, this Court is of the
    considered view that since the same is the subject matter of the trial, that
    is, as to whether the opposite party no.2 is the son of Raj Kumar Jaiswal or
    not and the fate of the trial hinges upon that, so merely on the claim of the
    petitioner that the opposite party no.2 is not the son of Raj Kumar Jaiswal,
    itself is not sufficient ground to cancel the bail which has already been
    granted to the opposite party no.2.

    Accordingly, this Cr.M.P., being without any merit is dismissed.
