JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Nilesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.11 Dated- 16.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint Case No.2757 of 2024 registered under sections 47 (a) (b) (c)/55 of the Excise Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner leased out the premises to the co-accused person who stored spirit in the said premises illegally. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-14 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.10,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Ranchi, in connection with Complaint Case No.2757 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and subject to the conditions laid down under section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
