Order No.07 Dated- 18-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Dhanbad Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.09 of 2024 instituted under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 66 (C)/66 (D) of the Information Technology Act and Section 42 (3) (e) of the Telecom Act, 2023 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 was involved in committing cyber-crime and various mobile phones along with SIM Cards were recovered from the possession of the petitioner. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-20 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that except the confessional statement of the co-accused Nima Das, there is no other material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this 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.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 Additional Sessions Judge-II-cum-Spl. Judge Cyber Crime, Dhanbad in connection with Dhanbad Cyber Crime P.S. Case No.09 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 her mobile number during the pendency of the case and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
