JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Ms. Priyanka Kumari, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Adl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 13-02-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Khunti P.S. Case No.63 of 2024 instituted under Sections 414 of the IPC, u/s 4/21 of Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation)Act, 1957, u/r 54 of Jharkhand Minor Minerals Concession Rule, 2004 and Rule 7/9/13 Jharkhand Minerals (Preventions of Illegal Mining Transportation and Storage) Rule, 2017 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 is the driver of Mahindra Tractor Engine No.RFN012174 which was seized by police while being involved in illegal mining and transporting of boulder stones . It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. 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 cash security of Rs.5000/- 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khunti in connection with Khunti P.S.
