Apprehending his arrest in connection with Bokaro Thermal P.S. Case No.76 of 2024 instituted under Sections 316 (2), 317 (4), 317 (5), 318 (4), 61, 3 (5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 30 of the Coal Mines (Nationalization) Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. It has been averred in the instant anticipatory bail application that the allegation against the petitioner is that on the instructions of the petitioner, the co-accused was involved in transportation of illegally extracted coal. It is further averred that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is further averred in para-10 of the instant bail application that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is next averred that the petitioner had no knowledge about his vehicle being involved in any illegal activity. It is further averred that only because the petitioner is the owner of the seized vehicle, he has been implicated in this case and the petitioner has no concern with the seized coal. It is also averred that the petitioner is ready and willing to abide by any terms and conditions imposed upon him by this Court. Considering the facts and circumstances 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.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 learned J.M.-1st Class, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Bokaro Thermal P.S.
