Jha Apartment, 2nd Floor, Near Womens College Science Block, Nagra Toli, Circular Road, Ranchi, P.O. -G.P.O., P.S.-Kotwali, Dist.-Ranchi, Jharkhand … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Kaushik Sarkhel, Advocate : Mr. Abhishek Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Shailesh Kr. Sinha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 05.02.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.90 of 2024 registered under sections 406/ 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner purchased bauxite from the informant and against a total amount of Rs.12,16,252.86/- paid only Rs.7,42,260/- and is not paying the outstanding amount of Rs.4,73,992.86/-. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and there is no allegation of having dishonest intention since the beginning of the transaction between the parties nor there is any allegation of any dishonest misappropriation of the entrusted property. It is next submitted that informant supplied low-grade bauxite ore hence, the petitioner has sent an email requesting the informant to take back the low-grade bauxite ore but instead of taking back the same, this false case has been foisted. It is also submitted that the dispute between the parties is at best a civil dispute. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency 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. 20,000/- 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 C.J.M., Lohardaga, in connection with Lohardaga P.S. Case No.90 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner 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 with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
