Order No.02 Dated- 19-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Khelari P.S. Case No.105 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 317(2) and 3(5) of the B.N.S. Act, 2023 and Section 12(i) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act and under Section 11 (2) of Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act, 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 was involved in illegal transportation of bovine animals for their illegal slaughter. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. 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 J.M.F.C., Ranchi in connection with Khelari P.S. Case No.105 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 he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
