JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. R.R.S. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Kumari Rashmi, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 14.02.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Barharwa P.S. Case No.137 of 2023 instituted under Sections 147/148/149/109/ 323/341/325/ 302 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that on being incited by the petitioner, the co-accused persons assaulted the informant and his son leading to the death of the son of the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the allegation of assault is against the co-accused person Laxman Ramani, who assaulted the son of the informant with crow bar and upon Dilip Ramani who assaulted on the head of the informant with axe and there is further allegation against the Ram Prasad Ramani of repeated assaults but there is no allegation against the petitioner except being present at the place of occurrence. It is next submitted that the exaggerations have been made against the petitioner and the co-accused Arjun Kumar Ramani and Karan Kumar Ramani who have graver allegations; have since been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 28.08.2024 passed in A.B.A. No.1870 of 2024. It is then submitted that the co-accused persons have already been given the privilege of anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 21.01.2025, in A.B.A. No. 202 of 2025. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members 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.20,000/- 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 J.M.-1st Class, Rajmahal in connection with Barharwa P.S. Case No.137 of 2023 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 numbers 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 annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members 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.
