    Case Summary: A.B.A. 2175/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Jharkhand granted anticipatory bail to five petitioners (Raju Saw, Pradip Yadav, Shibu Gope, Rajan Kumar, and Chhatri Gope) accused of coal theft from railway property under RPF Post Case No. 03 of 2025. The court found the case against them based on mere suspicion, noting that investigators arrived after the train had moved and only discovered coal bags by the track. Key Reasoning: The petitioners had no criminal antecedents and the allegations lacked substantive evidence—the train was already gone when police reached the scene. The court determined that naming them was based on suspicion rather than concrete evidence. Bail Terms: The petitioners must surrender within three weeks and post bail bonds of Rs. 25,000 each with two sureties of equal amount before the Railway Court, Dhanbad. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
