Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Mukesh Bihari Lal, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 24-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with C.P. Case No.13316 of 2022, instituted under Sections 323, 341, 427, 448, 504/34 of the I.P.C., Section 3 and 4 of the Witch Craft Act, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that after the death of the father of the complainant, the petitioners tortured the complainant physically and mentally. It is next submitted that on 07.11.2022 petitioners entered into the house of the complainant and destroyed the house hold articles and petitioner no.2 snatched the golden chain from the neck of the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are false. It is then submitted that there is no explanation for the delay of more than 20 days in institution of the complaint. It is further submitted that petitioners are the agnates of the complainant and because of land dispute this false case has been foisted. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the complainant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within eight weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail depositing Rs.10,000/- each as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Dhanbad, in connection with C.P. Case No.13316 of 2022 with the condition that they will co- operate with the trial of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the complainant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
