Order No.04 Dated- 07-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint G(F) Case No. 1043 of 2021 instituted under Section 33 (1) (a, b) of Indian Forest Act, section 29 of Wild Life Protection Act, 1972, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in denuding the forest by illegally extracting stone boulder and loading the same in his truck. It is next submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to deposit Rs.60,000/- for the damage that has been caused to forest area with the DFO, Wildlife Division, Hazaribagh without prejudiced to his defense in this case. The petitioner is ready and willing to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. 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 eight weeks showing deposit of receipt of Rs.60,000/- before the DFO, Wildlife Division, Hazaribagh 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 J.M.F.C., Hazaribagh in connection
with Complaint G(F) Case No. 1043 of 2021 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and appear before the trial court as and when required 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.
