JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Niladri S. Mukharjee, Advocate For the State : Mr. V.S. Sahay, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 21/01/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Mihizam P.S. Case No.44 of 2023 instituted under Sections 420/406/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 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 took a private loan of Rs.3,00,000/- from the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that admittedly the petitioners had issued a cheque which was dishonored in connection with PCR Case No.397 of 2021 has been instituted for the offence punishable under Section 138 NI Act by the informant and about after 2 years, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioners of having any dishonest intention since the beginning of the transaction between the parties nor there is any allegation of dishonest misappropriation of any property against the petitioners and in the absence of the same the offence punishable under Section 406 and 420 is not made out. It is then submitted that the accused person, with similar allegations, has already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 31.10.2023 passed in A.B.A. No.9077 of 2023. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his 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. 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 furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C., Jamtara in connection with Mihizam P.S. Case No.44 of 2023 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 his 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.
