JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rohan Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sudhir Kr. Mahto, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 28.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Barwadda P.S.

The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is a smuggler of sand and when the Hywa Truck loaded with stolen sand was seized, the petitioner along with the co-accused persons fled away with the seized Hywa Truck and the informant party was manhandled causing injuries to them. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-15 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is further summited that the allegations against the petitioner are general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case due to ulterior motive and the petitioner has no concern with the vehicle in question. It is further submitted that the petitioner is a reputed businessman of the locality. 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. 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 petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.50,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Dhanbad, in connection with Barwadda P.S.
