Order No.06 Dated- 25/02/2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Sonari P.S. Case No.23 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No.445 of 2024 instituted under Sections 307/506/34 of Indian Penal Code and under Section 27, 25(1-b)a/26/35 of Arms Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons attempted to murder the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the allegation of firing is upon the co-accused Golu Machua and the only allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner accompanied Golu Machua to the place of occurrence. It is next submitted that the victim has not sustained any gunshot injury. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the statement of Golu Machua and apart from that there is no other material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner waives his right to be put on T.I. parade and he will not question his identification by any of the witnesses during the trial on the ground that he was not put to T.I. parade. 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-16 of this anticipatory bail application. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or victim 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.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 J.M., Jamshedpur in connection with Sonari P.S. Case No.23 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. Case No.445 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 he will not annoy or disturb the informant or victim or any of their family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and he will not question his identification by any of the witnesses in the trial on the ground that he was not put to T.I. Parade and further conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Abhiraj/
