Order No.02 Dated- 07-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Dhanbad P.S. Case No.521 of 2024 instituted under Sections 317(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 are respectively the owner and driver of a Bolero pickup vehicle bearing registration no.JH- 10CD-0971 which was seized by police while transporting illegally extracted coal. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-4 of the supplementary affidavit, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner No.2 has 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 petitioner no.1 depositing Rs.30,000/- as cash security and petitioner no.2 depositing Rs.10,000/- 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad in connection with Dhanbad P.S. Case No.521 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 their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that 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.
