Mishra, Advocate Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Prabir Kr. Chatterjee, Spl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 13-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ichagarh P.S. Case No.36 of 2024 instituted under Sections 147, 149, 152, 225, 332, 353, 379, 411 of the Indian Penal Code and Rule 4, 54 of Jharkhand Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2004 and Rule 9 of Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017, 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, with common intention with the co-accused persons protested and obstructed the public servants in discharging their official duties as well as forcibly took away the seized J.C.B. Machine and Hywa vehicle from the custody of Officer In-charge of Ichagarh Police Station. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-08 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. 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 27.11.2024 passed in A.B.A. No.6642 of 2024. 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 Spl.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 A.C.J.M., Chandil in connection with Ichagarh P.S. Case No.36 of 2024 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.
