JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Lalit Yadav, Advocate For the State : Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 27.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Mohanpur P.S. Case No.185 of 2024 registered under sections 308(4)/109/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner attempted to murder the informant by firing upon his abdomen causing gunshot injury in his abdomen. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. 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. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that keeping in view the serous nature of direct allegation against the petitioner, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required during the investigation of the case for recovery of the weapon of offence as well as for collecting other details of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and the requirement of his custodial interrogation during the investigation of the case for recovery of the weapon of offence as well as for getting other details of the case, this Court is not inclined to give the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail to the abovenamed petitioner is rejected. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Sonu/Gunjan-
