Jharia, Dist. Dhanbad. .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Abhijeet Kr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Bandana Sinha, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 08/04/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Jharia P.S. Case No.240 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 127(1)/ 115(2)/118(1)/ 109/303(2)/351(3)/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons, attempted to murder Anish Singh and committed theft of cash Rs.2900/- and a gold chain. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that because of old enmity and grudges, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. It is next submitted that there is no explanation for the inordinate delay of 7 days in lodging the FIR when the police station is half kilometer away from the place of occurrence. Drawing attention of this court towards para-09 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant and also undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on depositing Rs.10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ACJM, Dhanbad in connection with Jharia P.S. Case No.240 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the informant during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
