JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Abhishek Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kr. Dubey, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 10-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Namkum P.S. Case No.470 of 2024 instituted under Sections 317 (5) of the B.N.S., 2023, Section 4/54 of J.M.M.C. Rules, Section 4/21 of M.M.D.R. Act, and Rule 9/11/13 of the Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017 the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioner No.1 is the owner of a turbo vehicle Registration No. JH01DF 7079, petitioner No.2 is the owner of turbo bearing Registration No. JH01BH 5688 and the petitioner No.3 is the owner of turbo bearing Registration No. JH12C 5138 and the said vehicles were seized by police while being loaded with illegally excavated sand. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that the petitioners had no knowledge about their vehicles being involved in any illegal activity. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-13 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/- each as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.-1st Class, Ranchi in connection with Namkum P.S. Case No.470 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their 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.
