JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sudhir Kr. Mahto, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.04 Dated- 25.03.2025 I.A. No. 3361 of 2025 Heard the parties. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this interlocutory application has been filed with a prayer for early hearing of this anticipatory bail application. Since, this anticipatory bail application is taken up today hence, the prayer has become infructuous. Accordingly, this interlocutory application is disposed of being infructuous. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) A.B.A. No. 7558 of 2024 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ghaghra P.S. Case No.81 of 2024 instituted under Sections 132, 115(2), 117(2), 189(2), 190, 121(1) and 263 of the B.N.S, 2023, the petitioners have 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 entered the police station and assaulted Bandan Oraon who was taken into custody by the police and assaulted him. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are false. It is then submitted that the co-accused, with similar allegations, have already been given anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 21.01.2025 in A.B.A. No.223 of 2025. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be also 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 bail 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 Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Gumla in connection with Ghaghra P.S. Case No.81 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
