2025:JHHC:19310 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 3747 of 2025 Pranesh Kumar Gupta, S/o Prameshwar Sao, R/o Village- Gangpur, P.O.- Gangpur, P.S. Gidhour, District- Chatra, Jharkhand .... Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). …… CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Birendra Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, AddI. P.P. …...... 06/ 16.07.2025: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. 2. This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Surksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences under Sections 316(2), 318(4) and 3(5) of BNS. 3. Petitioner is the owner of the commercial vehicle, which was carrying stone chips. 4. From the impugned order it transpires that admittedly, the same was being transported under valid paper. The only allegation is that though it was supposed to go to NTPC Chandwa, but it was unloaded at Village Sikraul, Pathalgadda. 5. Considering the nature of allegation and especially the fact that material was being transported under the valid documents, I feel that this is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 6. Considering the above facts, I am inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. 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 Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Chatra, in connection with Pathalgadda P.S. Case No.06 of 2025, 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. 7. Petitioner should cooperate and join investigation and appear before the Investigating Officer once in 15 days. (ANANDA SEN, J.) R.S./
