Order No.02 Dated-20-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ormanjhi P.S. Case No.163 of 2021 instituted under Sections 406/420/467/468/471/34 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, by preparing wrong genealogy of the recorded tenant, showing its four share holders are alive and with criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons of the case, executed power of attorney as well as three sale-deeds. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that due to land dispute, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. It is next submitted that the dispute between the parties is basically a civil dispute. It is further submitted that the co-accused persons, with similar allegations, have already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 18.08.2023 passed in A.B.A. No.2588 of
2023. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case. 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 bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Ranchi in connection with Ormanjhi P.S. Case No.163 of 2021 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.
