Order No.02 Dated- 11-04-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.608 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 406 of the I.P.C, 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 being the customer of the complainant, who is the vegetable whole seller and retail seller, has taken vegetable from the complainant and is not paying Rs.1,30,099/- due and payable by him. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is further submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of having any intention of cheating since the beginning of the transaction between the parties and admittedly considerable amount of money has been paid by the petitioner to the complainant. It is then submitted that there is no document to show entrustment of any property to the petitioner. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co- operate with the trial 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.10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Godda in connection with Complaint Case No.608 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
