Order No.06 Dated-29-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No.80 of 2023 instituted under Sections 379/411 of the Indian Penal Code, 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 has committed theft of 200 Kgs of Iron. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of statement of the co-accused person. Drawing attention of this court towards para-16 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that the co-accused, with similar allegations, has already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 15.01.2025 passed in A.B.A. No.8136 of 2024. 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 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 his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on depositing Rs.2,000/- 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 ACJM, Latehar in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No.80 of 2023 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 and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
