Order No.02 Dated-08-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Doranda P.S. Case No.75 of 2021 instituted under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, 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 is the purchaser of land belonging to the informant on the basis of the false genealogy table. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is also submitted that the co-accused persons, with the similar allegation, have already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate bench of this Court vide orders dated 02.08.2022, 05.08.2022, 16.10.2023 and 08.12.2023 passed in A.B.A. No.3923 of 2022, A.B.A. No.4320 of 2022, A.B.A. No.6204 of 2023 and A.B.A. No.5973 of 2023 respectively. It is further submitted that the dispute between the parties is at the most a civil dispute. It is then submitted that the vendor of the petitioner is the owner of the property and no illegality has been committed by the vendor of the petitioner. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Addl.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 her arrest or surrendering, she will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Ranchi in connection with Doranda P.S. Case No.75 of 2021 with the condition that she will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish her mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her 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.
