Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ram Kinkar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arup Kr. Dey, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 30-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ranka P.S. Case No.85 of 2024 instituted under Sections 420 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the P.D.S. Shop owner, has made false entries in the concerned register regarding supply of grains to the beneficiaries but in fact, he has not supplied the same and misappropriated the same. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false and vague. It is next submitted that nothing has been seized in the case so far. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.25,000/- as cash security 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 S.D.J.M., Garhwa in connection with Ranka P.S. Case No.85 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
