Petitioner. -Versus- The State of Jharkhand . ........ Opp. Party. ----- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Abhishek Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailesh Kr. Sinha, APP. ----- 02/Dated: 03rd June, 2025 Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The petitioner has moved before this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail from apprehending his arrest in connection with Sonahatu P.S. Case No.13 of 2025 instituted under Sections 303(2), 317(2) of B.N.S. and 4/21 of MMDR Act 1957, Rule 54 of JMMC Rule 2004 and Rule 13 of the Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining Transportation and Storage) Rule 2017. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. As per the allegation, 4000 CFT of illegally stored sand was found roughly 500 meters from the Radhu River. The petitioner has no concern with the said sand. He has falsely been implicated in this case merely on the basis of suspicion and hearsay statements of the villagers. Except that there is no material to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer for bail. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case I am inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within four weeks 2025:JHHC:14376 Page | 2 from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Ranchi in connection with Sonahatu P.S. Case No.13 of 2025 with the condition that he will co- operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhaar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. It is made clear that if the petitioner does not cooperate with the investigation/trial, the State would be at liberty to take appropriate action. (Deepak Roshan, J.) Sandeep/Rahul
