Order No.02 Dated- 18-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Bishnugarh P.S. Case No.139 of 2024 instituted under Sections 127(1), 115(2), 117(2), 109, 352 and 117(4) of B.N.S., 2023, 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 petitioners attempted to murder the informant Shibulal Soren and caused injuries to him. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is then submitted that there was free fight between the parties and the informant party was the aggressor party and for the self-same occurrence, from the side of the petitioners, Bishnugarh P.S. Case No.138 of 2024 was instituted by the son of the petitioner no.5. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. 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 depositing Rs.5,000/- each as cash security and 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 J.M.F.C., Hazaribag in connection with Bishnugarh P.S. Case No.139 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the informant 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.
