Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Karon P.S. Case No.15 of 2024 instituted under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 324, 325, 120B, 341, 342, 307, 427, 333, 353 and 506 of Indian Penal Code and Section 3 of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 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 being member of an unlawful assembly, armed with deadly weapons, attempted to murder police personnels, who went to a place of occurrence for arrest of accused person, in a cyber-crime offence. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no intention to kill anybody. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-12 of this anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that the co-accused persons have been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate bench of this Court vide
order dated 15.07.2024 in A.B.A No.3740 of 2024, order dated 16.07.2024 in A.B.A No.3847 of 2024, order dated 11.07.2024 in A.B.A No.3793 of 2024 and
order dated 11.07.2024 in A.B.A No.3790 of 2024 respectively. 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 Spl. 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.10,000/- 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 A.C.J.M., Madhupur in connection with Karon P.S. Case No.15 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 further conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
