Order No.03 Dated- 27/02/2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.199 of 2023 instituted under Sections 341, 323, 324, 379, 307, 34 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 and others were sitting in the night, the informant inquired from them as to what they were doing in the night and at which the petitioner and the co-accused persons took away Rs.2,000/- from his pocket and also assaulted him causing grievous injury in his head. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the allegation of assault is general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that there is no allegation of any weapon being used in the offence and the petitioner is a student pursuing the course of Amanat Survey in an university in Ranchi. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his 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 Spl.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 C.J.M., Lohardaga in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.199 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 he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
