Order No.02 Dated- 20-02-2025
No one turns up on behalf of either of the parties in-spite of repeated calls.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Ichagarh P.S. Case No.62 of 2024 instituted under Sections 190, 191(2), 191(3), 195, 221, 224, 121(1), 132, 109, 301 and 3(5) of BNS Act 2023, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Perusal of the record reveals that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was the member of an unlawful assembly and being armed with deadly weapons obstructed the highway for up to 12 hours, consequent upon death of a person in a road accident by keeping the dead body of the deceased on the road and used criminal force against the police personnel by deterring them from discharging their duties and also assaulted the police personnel who were deployed in duty. It is further averred in the anticipatory bail application that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next averred in the anticipatory bail application that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in paragraph no.13 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then contended in this anticipatory bail application that the co-accused person has already been given the privilege of anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 21.01.2025 in A.B.A. No.206 of 2025. It is also averred in the anticipatory bail application that the petitioner is ready and willing to abide by any terms and condition as imposed by this Court.
Considering the aforesaid facts of the case, 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 each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Chandil in connection with Ichagarh P.S. Case No.62 of 2024 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 number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking he will not change his 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.
