Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Awnish Shankar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh,Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 07-02-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Katkamdag P.S. Case No.199 of 2024 instituted under Sections 126, 115(2), 117 (2), 89 and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, 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 assaulted the informant resulting her miscarriage. It is next submitted that petitioner no.1 is the mother-in-law of the informant and petitioner no.2 sister-in-law of the informant. It is further submitted that petitioner no.2 is residing in a house separately from that of the informant and her matrimonial family members. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are false. It is also submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioners of causing miscarriage deliberately. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-14 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. 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 Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Hazaribag in connection with Katkamdag P.S. Case No.199 of 2024 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 his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking they will not change their 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.
