Order No.02 Dated- 03/03/2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Lawalong P.S. Case No.70 of 2024 instituted under Sections 376(2)(n) of the B.N.S., 2023, 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 established physical relationship with the victim on the promise of marriage and impregnated her but refused to marry her. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted drawing attention of this court to the copy of the voter list kept at annexure-2 and the copy of election photo identity card which is kept at Annexure-2/1 that the informant is the wife of the Ramesh Kumar Ram and she has suppressed the material fact of her marital status. It is next submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner that the petitioner had no intention to marry the victim, at the time of allegedly promising to marry her, though, the petitioner and the victim are major. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not disturb or annoy the informant-victim in any manner during the pendency of the 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.25,000/- 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 C.J.M., Chatra in connection with Lawalong P.S. Case No.70 of 2024 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 he will not disturb or annoy the informant-victim 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,
