Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Rajesh Kr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kumar Dubey, A.P.P ------ Order No.04 Dated- 07-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege 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 petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners promoted enmity between different groups on the ground of religion and indulged in deliberate and 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 privilege of anticipatory bail by this Court in A.B.A. No. 7924 of 2024 vide order dated 03.01.2025. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. 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 undertakes that they 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 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 above named 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.25,000/- 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra, in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case No.321 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile number and a copy of their Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case and further undertakes that they 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 subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
