3/09.05.2025 Heard Mr. Shailesh Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing for the appellants and Mr. Pankaj Kumar Mishra, learned A.P.P. appearing for the State.
This appeal is directed against the order dated 24.03.2025 passed in A. B. P. No. 825 of 2025 and 837 of 2025 arising out of Madhuban (Dharmaband O.P.) P. S. Case No. 1 of 2025 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge XVI, Dhanbad whereby and whereunder the prayer for anticipatory bail of the appellants has been rejected.
It has been alleged that there was a fight between two groups with respect to the marking of land on which coal was to be extracted and when the police party tried to pacify the mob they were subjected to assault which resulted in institution of an FIR against 123 persons. So far as the present appellants are concerned, the allegations are general and omnibus in nature. It appears that one of the similarly situated co- accused has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court in Criminal Appeal (DB) No. 447 of 2025.
On consideration of the aforesaid facts, we while setting aside the
order dated 24.03.2025 passed in A. B. P. No. 825 of 2025 and 837 of 2025,
-2- direct that the appellants above named to surrender in the court below within four weeks and pray for bail, and in that event, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st class, Dhanbad in connection with Madhuban (Dharmaband O.P.) P. S. Case No. 1 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
This appeal is allowed.
