Order No.08 Dated- 11/02/2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Bengabad P.S. Case No.40 of 2024 instituted under Sections 341, 323, 307, 354, 379, 504, 506, 34 of Indian Penal Code, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons attempted to murder the informant and her husband and committed theft of gold jewelries and outraged the modesty of the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that except for the injury which was sustained on the right hand of the Sanjeet Kumar Upadhyay who is the husband of the informant, all other alleged injuries sustained are simple in nature and hand is not a vital part of the body. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no intention to kill anybody. It is next submitted that the co-accused person-Sapna Devi has been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 05.09.2024 in A.B.A No.3409 of 2024. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her
family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Giridih in connection with Bengabad P.S. Case No.40 of 2024 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 Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
