Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Jainagar P.S. Case No.201 of 2024 registered under section 317(5), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, under Rule 13 of Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017 and under Rule 54 Jharkhand Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2004.
The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the driver cum owner of Tractor which was involved in illegal transportation of sand. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.13 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 privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Spl. 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 privileges 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.5,000/- 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 S.D.J.M., Koderma, in connection with Jainagar P.S.
