Case No.31 of 2024 instituted under Sections 376/511, 354D, 506 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 has attempted to commit rape upon the victim. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that as mentioned in para-52 of the case diary, after investigation, the case was found to be of stalking and outraging modesty punishable under Section 354(D) and 354 of Indian Penal Code, respectively. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-14 of this anticipatory bail application. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant and her daughter or any of their 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 J.M., Hazaribagh in connection with Barkagaon P.S.
