ABA No. 1085 of 2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Sarath P.S. case No.-126/2024 registered under Sections 115(2), 126(2), 109, 303(2), 76, 351(2), 352 3(5) of the of BNS 2023. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioners in furtherance of the common intention with the co-accused persons, attempted to murder Parwati Devi with iron rod. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and those allegations are general and omnibus in nature. Drawing attention of the court to the page 6-7 of the supplementary affidavit, which is copy of the certified copy of the compromise petition, filed by the parties in the court of learned JMFC, it is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the parties have compromised the case and the informant does not want to proceed with the case and because of the village politics, the petitioner has been implicated in this case. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph 11 of the anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and he undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during pendency of the case hence, the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on depositing Rs. 10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M. 1st Class Madhupur in connection with Sarath P.S. case No.-126/2024 subject to the condition that the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during pendency of the case and will co-operate with the Investigation of the case and will appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will submit mobile number and photocopy of Aadhaar card at the time of surrender in the court below with an undertaking not to change mobile phone number during the pendency of the case along with the other conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of BNSS, 2023.
