Kanke, District –Ranchi, Jharkhand. … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : None For the State : None ------ Order No.11 Dated- 20.02.2025 No one turns up on behalf of either of the parties in-spite of repeated calls. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Kanke P.S. Case No.76 of 2024 registered under sections 147/ 148/149/341/323/385/387/380/436/427 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. Perusal of the record reveals that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were members of unlawful assembly and being armed with deadly weapons demanded extortion and committed theft and also set fire and committed mischief. It is further averred in the anticipatory bail application that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. Perusal of the record reveals that I.A. No. 8966 of 2024 has been filed which is supported by separate affidavits of the Parivikar of the petitioners as well as the informant, wherein it has categorically been mentioned that with the intervention of friends and well-wishers, the parties have amicably settled their dispute and the F.I.R. has been lodged because of confusion. It has also been averred therein that the informant does not want to proceed with the case. It is also averred in this anticipatory bail application that the genesis of the occurrence is attempt to forcibly occupying the land belonging to the petitioners by Kasis Developers and there is an unexplained delay of 10 days in lodgment of the F.I.R. which indicates that this case is a malicious proceeding. It is also averred in the anticipatory bail application that the petitioners are ready and willing to abide by any terms and condition as imposed by this Court. Considering the aforesaid facts of the case, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranchi, in connection with Kanke P.S. Case No.76 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
