Apprehending his arrest in connection with Shikaripara P.S. Case No. 86 of 2022, instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 414/34 I.P.C., under Sections 12(5) of Jharkhand Bovine Animal Prohibition Slaughter Act, 2005 and under Sections 11(i) (a) (d) (e) Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner of Bolero Pickup vehicle bearing registration No. JH-04W/1543 which was seized by the police while being involved in transportation of bovine animals for their illegal slaughter. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. Drawing the attention of this Court towards para-10 of the instant anticipatory bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is next submitted that the petitioner had no knowledge about his vehicle being involved in any illegal activity. 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 the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dumka in connection with Shikaripara P.S.
