Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No.321 of 2023 registered under sections 147/148/149/ 337/153A/295A/504/506 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner promoted enmity between different groups on the ground of religion and indulged in deliberate malicious acts intending to outrage the religious feelings of a class of citizens of India by setting the religious flag on fire and raising slogans against the religion. The co-accused persons have already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by this Court in A.B.A. No. 7924 of 2024 vide order dated 03.01.2025 and A.B.A. No.7860 of 2024 dated 07.01.2025. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the members of his religion in any manner during the pendency of the case and will not indulge in any act to hurt their religious feelings. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. 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 above named petitioner be given the privileges 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.25,000/- 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra, in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S.
