Enamul Ansari, resident of village- Ansar Nagar, P.o and P.S.- Chatra, District- Chatra, Jharkhand ..... Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. K.S. Nanda, Advocate. For the State : Ms. Amrita Kumari, A.P.P. …..... 04/20.06.2025: This anticipatory bail application under Section(s) 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Section(s) 317(5), 3(5) of BNS-2023, under Section 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Section 12(1), 12(2), 12(3) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005. Heard the parties at length and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application. Opportunity was given to the State to oppose the bail, which the State availed and opposed. It is alleged that from the vehicle of the petitioner, bovine animal was being transported illegally. It is further alleged that when bovine animals were unloaded from the vehicle, the driver fled away with the vehicle, which the petitioner later on had produced before the police. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the vehicle of the petitioner was not involved in the occurrence, which will be evident from Annexure- 2 series. He submits that at the same time i.e. at 4:00 a.m in the morning the vehicle was found more than 100 KM away from the place of occurrence, which is evident from JIO Tagging, thus, I am of the opinion that the vehicle was not at the place of occurrence. In view of the aforesaid facts, I am inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks from today and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the court below is directed to enlarge him on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1 st Class, Hazaribag, in connection with Katkamsandi P.S. Case No. 52 of 2025, subject to condition that one of the bailers should be close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his/her name or in the name of his/her ancestors in which he/she is having share and to that effect, he/she has to file an affidavit before the Trial Court indicating his/her share in the property.
