JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Pankaj Verma, Advocate : Mr. Sanket Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. P.D. Agrawal, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 11.03.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Kasmar P.S. Case No.114 of 2022 (G.R. No. 1241 of 2022) registered for the offences punishable under sections 323/ 342/ 354/ 379/ 427/ 504/506 of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner outraged the modesty of the informant and committed theft of Rs.8,500/-. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the informant is in habit of filing such type of cases. It is then submitted that there is an inordinate delay of three days from the alleged last occurrence, in lodging the FIR. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 12 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 10,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees 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 Kasmar P.S.
