This is an application filed by the petitioner praying for grant of anticipatory bail in terms of sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as the petitioner has been allegedly implicated in connection with Saria PS case no. 166 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 223/88/318(4)/3(5) of BNS, 2023 and under section 23(1) and 23(2) of the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) 1994, pending in the court of learned J.M. at Giridih. 2. It is alleged that in a room which belongs to this petitioner one Bindu Singh was running a clinic in violation of Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) 1994. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only allegation is that the petitioner has given the said room to Bindu Singh on rent and there is no allegation that he is running clinic and operating machine. 4. The learned APP after going through the case diary admits that it is Bindu Singh who was operating machine after taking room of this petitioner on rent. 5.

Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks from today and in the event of his 2025:JHHC:13969 surrender/arrest the learned court below is directed to enlarge him on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned J.M. at Giridih, in connection with Saria PS case no. 166 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his/ her name or in the name of his/her ancestors in which he/she is having share and to that effect, he/she has to file an affidavit before the learned trial court indicating his /her share in the property.
