IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.7964 of 2024 ------ Subhash Mandal @ Subhas Mandal .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rahul Ranjan, Advocate For the State : Mr. Santosh Kr. Shukla, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.03 Dated- 06-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Karmatar P.S. Case No.134 of 2024 instituted under Sections 274, 275 of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 47(a) of the Excise Act, 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 was involved in business of illicit foreign liquor. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and the said illicit foreign liquor was not recovered from the house of the petitioner. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. 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 eight weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.50,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Jamtara in connection with Karmatar P.S. Case No.134 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.
