For the State : Mrs. Priya Shrestha, Spl.P.P. ----- 03/ 25.04.2025 Heard the parties. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Section 33(i)(C) of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 and Section 52 of Wild Life Protection Act. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. The only allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is plouging land which according to the State is a Forest land. Though from the impugned order, I find that there is an allegation that by plouging land the petitioner wants to cultivate poppy plant but there is no material in the record to suggest that any poppy seeds or any poppy plants or any other material were found. 5. Considering the aforesaid fact, this Court finds it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 2025:JHHC:12492 2 6. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed. The petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order and on the event of his surrender or arrest, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra, in connection with Complaint Case No. 1248 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his name or in the name of his ancestors in which he is having share and to that effect, he has to file an affidavit before the Trial Court indicating his share in the property.
