Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Bishnugarh P.S. Case No. 213 of 2023 registered under Sections 341, 323, 406, 420, 120B, 504, 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in furtherance of common intention with the co- accused persons, have committed criminal breach of trust and cheating. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and those allegations are general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the dispute between the parties is at best a civil dispute. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that consequent upon the matter being referred for mediation, a settlement has been arrived at between the parties and the petitioners have undertaken to jointly pay Rs. 4,81,000/- and by now the petitioners have paid Rs. 3,61,000/- and they undertake to pay the remaining amount as well. It is next submitted that the petitioners are ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case hence, the petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioners 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 SDJM, Hazaribag in connection with Bishnugarh P.S.
