    Case Summary: The High Court of Jharkhand granted anticipatory bail to Ranjit Paswan and Ramesh Prajapati in a case alleging they called a deceased woman "Daain" (witch), leading to her suicide, under IPC sections 306/34 and Prevention of Witchcraft Practices Act sections 3/4. The court found general and omnibus allegations against all accused, and crucially, the primary witness (PW-1) testified that the petitioners were not involved and their names appeared inadvertently in the FIR. Each petitioner was released on Rs.25,000 bail with two sureties, ordered to surrender within three weeks.
