Asgar Ansari, Resident of Village Palta, Sabanpur, P.O. & P.S.- Narayanpur, District- Jamtara, Jharkhand-815352 .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Preetam Mandal, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 06-02-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Narayanpur P.S. Case No.124 of 2022 instituted under Sections 364A and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner, in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons, abducted the husband of the informant for demand of ransom. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards the copy of the deposition of the alleged victim-Alam Ansari in S.T. Case No.36 of 2023 kept at Annexure-2 page-18 of the brief, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that therein the alleged victim has categorically stated that he voluntarily went with his friends for roaming around and returned 2-3 days thereafter and no one has taken him and he was declared hostile and even though the prosecution put leading questions to him; still he did not support the case of the prosecution. It is further submitted that except confessional statement of the accused persons of the case, there is no material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Jamtara in connection with Narayanpur P.S. Case No.124 of 2022 with the condition that he 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 that he will not change his 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.
