Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sujit Kumar Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajneesh Vardhan, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.06 Dated-14-02-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Sariya P.S. Case No.109 of 2023 instituted under Sections 341/323/307/354A/354B/366/376(2n)/ 493/504/506/509/120B of the 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 solemnized marriage with the victim and after that, ill-treated and assaulted her and repeatedly committed rape upon her. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that admittedly, the victim is the wife of the petitioner having solemnized marriage with him. It is then submitted that the informant is a major lady and admittedly, the petitioner and the informant stayed in rented accommodation for some days as husband and wife. Drawing attention of this court towards para- 12 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that petitioner undertakes to cooperate 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 the date of the order and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.25,000/- 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Giridih in connection with Sariya P.S. Case No.109 of 2023 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.
