JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sabyasanchi, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shree P. Jha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 07.02.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Sahibganj Rail P.S. Case No.07 of 2020, SBG/GRPS Case No. 7 of 2020 (Railway G.R. No. 19 of 2020) registered under sections 302/120B/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners assaulted the husband of the informant-complainant and to kill him threw him on the railway track. It is then alleged that the husband of the informant-complainant was treated in government hospital from midnight to 12:20 am on 10.01.2017 and he died at 12:30 am and the petitioners brought the dead body of the husband of the informant-complainant to the house and without postmortem, cremated the dead body of the deceased husband of the informant-complainant on 11.01.2017. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and though the death of the deceased husband of the informant- complainant took place on 10.01.2017 but the complainant filed the complaint, in the court of Railway Magistrate, Sahibganj on 12.10.2020 and upon the same, being referred to police under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C., police conducted an investigation and submitted final report that the allegation was found to be false and did not sent up the petitioner for trial but the leaned Magistrate differing from the charge sheet found that there is sufficient material in the diary to constitute the offences punishable under Sections 302/201/34 of Indian Penal Code and took cognizance of the said offence. It is also submitted that the petitioners are agnates of the complainant and because of land dispute, more than three years after the death of her husband, this false case has been foisted and the same was found to be false by the police during the pendency of the case. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 10,000/- each and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Railway Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj, in connection with Sahibganj Rail P.S. Case No.07 of 2020, SBG/GRPS Case No. 7 of 2020 (Railway G.R. No. 19 of 2020) with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case with further condition that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
