Order No.02 Dated-22-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Jarmundi P.S. Case No.129 of 2024 instituted under Sections 191(2)/191(3)/190/115(2)/352/ 351(2)/304 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, being the members of an unlawful assembly, in prosecution of common object of the assembly; being armed with various weapons, attempted to murder the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. Drawing attention of this court towards para-14 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. It is next submitted that the petitioners and the informant/victim are agnates and there is land dispute between them. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no intention to kill anybody. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim or any of their 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/- as cash security each 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Dumka in connection with Jarmundi P.S. Case No.129 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 numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the informant/victim 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.
