Jharia, District- Dhanbad .... .... …. Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Saibal Kr. Laik, Advocate For the State : Ms. Mohua Palit, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 13-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Jharia P.S. Case No.177 of 2024 instituted under Sections 127 (1), 329 (4), 115 (2), 118 (1), 117 (2), 74, 351 (2), 3 (5) of the B.N.S., 2023, 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 the petitioners, in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons, caused grievous hurt to the informant, used criminal force against a woman with intent to outrage her modesty and criminally intimidated her. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that for the self-same occurrence, from the side of the petitioners, the petitioner No.1 first lodged Jharia P.S. Case No.176 of 2024 and thereafter, as a counter-blast, this false case has been foisted against the petitioners. It is further submitted that the co-accused, with similar allegations, have already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 10.12.2024 passed in A.B.A. No.7298 of 2024. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant 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 investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. 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 six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on 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 A.C.J.M., Dhanbad in connection with Jharia P.S. Case No.177 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the informant 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.
