Order No.02 Dated- 27.01.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with R.I.T. P.S. Case No.58 of 2024 registered under sections 341/323/ 325/307/354/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons attempted to murder the husband of the informant –Sanjay Gupta and outraged the modesty of the informant. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-7 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner no.1 was himself admitted in hospital from 08.06.2024 to 10.06.2024 for the fracture of the bone of his right leg in which steel plate was implanted and, in this connection, the learned counsel for the petitioners draws the attention of this Court to annuexre-2 of the brief. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to
cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertake that they 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.20,000/- each and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Seraikella, in connection with R.I.T. P.S. Case No.58 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile number and a copy of their Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that that they 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.
