Order No.05 Dated- 20.03.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending her arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Doranda P.S. Case No.115 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons committed murder of Bimal Kacchap. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and, in the FIR, there is direct and specific allegation against Upendra Karmali of having committed the murder of Bimal Kacchap and the only allegation against the petitioner is that a meeting was convened by and in the house of the petitioner; hence, the petitioner has been arrayed as an accused. It is then submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of committing the murder of Bimal Kacchap and the petitioner is a female. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 13 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertakes that she will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members in any manner during
the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of her arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, she shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 10,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C.-XIII, Ranchi, in connection with Doranda P.S. Case No.115 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish her mobile number and a copy of her Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that she will not change her mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that she will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
