Order No.02 Dated- 04-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Sector 4 P.S. Case No.73 of 2017 corresponding to G.R. No.834 of 2017 instituted under Sections 406, 420, 120-B 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, in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons, committed cheating and criminal breach of trust of Rs.8.01 lakhs invested by the informant with a non-banking financial company namely Alchemist Infra Reality Limited. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is further submitted that the petitioners themselves are the investors of the said non-banking financial company namely Alchemist Infra Reality Limited. It is next submitted that the petitioners are not the directors of the company concerned nor they hold any responsible position in the said company. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant 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 J.M.-1st Class, Bokaro in connection with Sector 4 P.S. Case No.73 of 2017 corresponding to G.R. No.834 of 2017 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 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.
