JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Manindra Kr. Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.09 Dated- 20-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Gola P.S. Case No.26 of 2024 instituted under Sections 272, 273 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 47 (a) of the Jharkhand Excise 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 was involved in illegal business of foreign liquor in his hotel. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that nothing has been seized from the conscious possession of the petitioner. 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.1,00,000/- 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.- 1st Class, Ramgarh in connection with Gola P.S. Case No.26 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
