JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Ms. Seema Kashyap, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 28-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with C.P. Case No.1383 of 2023 instituted under Sections 323, 325, 354, 452, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 & 4 of the Prevention of Witch (Daain) Practices Act, 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 there was a quarrel in respect of cleaning of drain by the complainant; between the petitioners and the complainant and the petitioners disrobed the complainant and criminally intimidated her and called her a Daain. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that for the self-same occurrence, the petitioners first instituted Complaint Case No.1094 of 2023 and thereafter as a counter-blast, this false Complaint Case has been foisted against the petitioners. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the complainant in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the trial of the case. 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 furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Bokaro in connection with C.P. Case No.1383 of 2023 with the condition that they will co-operate with the trial of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the complainant 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.
