JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Naresh PD Thakur, Advocate For the State : Mr. Ajay Kr. Pathak, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 30/01/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Sudamdih P.S. Case No.63 of 2024 registered under sections 274/275 of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 47 (a) of Excise Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in preparation and selling of illicit country made liquor (Mahua liquor). It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.15 of the anticipatory bail application. 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 privileges 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 privileges 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. 3,000/- 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 J.M.-1st Class, Dhanbad in connection with Sudamdih P.S.
