JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Abhay Kr. Chaturvedy, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kumar Dubey, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 05-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.888 of 2018 instituted under Section 33 of Indian Forest Act and Section 2 of Forest Conservation Act, 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 the petitioners encroached upon the forest land and constructed house thereon. It is next submitted that petitioners will undertake that they will furnish a certificate from the complainant/Forest Range Officer, that they have demolished the construction made over the forest land and undertake that they will not enter into any forest land during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the trial of the case. 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 the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on producing a certificate from the complainant/Forest Range Officer that they have demolished the house constructed on the forest land 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chatra in connection with Complaint Case No.888 of 2018 with the condition that they will co-operate with the trial of the case and an undertaking that they will not enter into any forest land during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
