Date: 29.05.2025
1. The petitioner apprehending her arrest in connection with Jirwabari P.S. Case No. 102 of 2024 for the offences punishable under Sections 341/323/353/504/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. Even if the content of the F.I.R. is taken to be true, it has been alleged against the petitioner that she abused the informant and threatened him. She also scuffled with a female police constable and slapped her. No serious injury was caused to any of the police officials in the alleged occurrence. The petitioner is a lady and has no criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph no. 18 of the present anticipatory bail application. Co-accused persons,

namely, Amla Devi, Subodh Kumar Mandal @ Vijay Kumar Mandal and Chanda Kumari have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 19.11.2024 passed in A.B.A. No. 6464 of 2024. The petitioner, however, undertakes to co-operate in the ongoing investigation. Hence, she may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
3. Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.
5. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, in the event of her arrest or surrender before the court below within three weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj in connection with Jirwabari P.S.
