JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Rakesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Anuradha Sahay, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 21.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Pindrajora P.S. Case No.305 of 2023 registered under sections 147/ 148/283/323/341/342/353/426/504 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were the members of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of common object of the assembly used criminal force against the police personnel deterring them from discharging their duties and caused blockage of the road and also damaged vehicles of the public. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and are general and omnibus in nature. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertake that they will not indulge in any offence while on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privilege 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 abovenamed petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.10,000/- each and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Bokaro, in connection with Pindrajora P.S.
