Order No. 02/Dated: 05th June, 2025
1. 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 Karon P.S. Case No. 51 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. Case No. 39 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 316(5), 319(2), 318(4), 338, 336(3), 340(2) and 61(2) of B.N.S., 2023.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that petitioner had received notice from B.D.O., Karon and then he got to know that the amount which has been credited in his account was government money, he was unaware that the amount was forged money. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. As such, he may be extended the privilege of anticipatory bail.
4. Learned A.P.P. opposed the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail.
5. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to extend privilege of anticipatory bail to this petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rs. Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M. at Madhupur.
6. It is made clear that petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation / trial. If the petitioner will not co-operate with the investigation / trial, the State would be at liberty to take appropriate action.
