Order No.02 Dated- 24.01.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Ranchi Sadar P.S. Case No.340 of 2024 registered under sections 126(2)/ 115(2)/117(2) and 109 of the B.N.S., 2023. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner attempted to murder the informant by assaulting her with a piece of wood on her head. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the informant was the aggressor party and she first pushed the petitioner resulting in fracture of the left hand of the petitioner and for the self-same occurrence, on the basis of the written report submitted by the petitioner, Ranchi Sadar P.S. Case No. 341 of 2024 has been instituted. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para- 11 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that the genesis of the occurrence is a petty dispute regarding the instruction of the informant to bring the newspaper by the informant being disobeyed by the petitioner. 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 and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the
informant or her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant 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 abovenamed petitioner be given the privilege 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.20,000/- 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 Judicial Magistrate 1st Class -IV, Ranchi, in connection with Ranchi Sadar P.S. Case No.340 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
