2025:JHHC:14280 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 2905 of 2025 Bibhisen Shivaji Jadhav, son of Shivaji Jadhav, resident of Wadalatal, P.O.- Wadalatal, P.S.- Mandrup, District- Solapur (Maharashtra) … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand …. … Opposite Party CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR For the Petitioner : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Saket Kumar, A.P.P. Order No. 02 Dated: 29.05.2025 The petitioner apprehending his arrest for the offences punishable under Sections 316(3)/ 318(4)/ 338/ 336(3)/ 340(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, 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. He has been roped in the present case on the alleged confessional statement of co-accused – Chandrakant Dhanappa Dhansheti who was the driver of the truck in question and was involved in fraudulent loading of 40 tons of rice from the factory premises of the informant. The petitioner has no idea as to how the said truck was found involved in alleged offence. Otherwise also, the driver of the said truck was in control of the same at the time of alleged occurrence. Moreover, after seizure of the vehicle, the rice has already been released in favour of the informant as has been stated in paragtraph-11 of the present anticipatory bail application. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph-14 of the present anticipatory bail 2 application. He, however, undertakes to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. Hence, he may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. 3. Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties 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 his 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, Seraikella in connection with Seraikella P.S. Case No. 150 of 2024, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the ‘Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023’. Ritesh/ (Rajesh Shankar, J.)
