JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mrs. Vani Kumari, Advocate For the State : Mr. Abhay Kr. Tiwari, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.04 Dated- 07.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Shikaripara P.S. Case No.62 of 2024 registered under sections 281/324/325 of the B.N.S., 2023, under Section 11 (i), (iv) and (v) of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and under Section 12 (2) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition of Slaughter Act, 2005. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner- cum-driver of the vehicle which was involved in the transportation of bovine animals for slaughtering them illegally. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and are general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 11 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner 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 petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 20,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Dumka, in connection with Shikaripara P.S. Case No.62 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.
