Order No.02 Dated- 23.01.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Bahragora P.S. Case No.70 of 2024 registered under sections 351(2)/352 of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 67 of I.T. Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has made obscene photograph of the informant viral; consequent upon the informant stopped talking to him. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner is a college going student aged 19 years and only son of his mother. It is then submitted that the alleged mobile number from which allegedly the photographs were made viral, does not belong to the petitioner and admittedly the informant is a married lady and was still having relationship with the petitioner. 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 he will not make any posting in any social media during the pendency of the case nor he will annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Spl. 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 his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he 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 Special Judge (Cyber Crime), Jamshedpur, in connection with Bahragora P.S. Case No.70 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 with further condition that he will not make any posting in any social media during the pendency of the case nor he will annoy or disturb the informant in any manner and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
