JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rohan Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Anuradha Sahay, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 21.02.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Katras (Ramkanali O.P.) P.S. Case No.355 of 2024 registered under sections 76/329(4) of the B.N.S., 2023. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner attempted to commit rape upon the victim girl. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-14 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that there is an inordinate delay of five days in lodging the F.I.R. and in fact the petitioner being the relative of the informant gave loan to her brother in the year 2022 at the time of death of her father and as the petitioner was pressurizing to return the said amount, the brother of the informant set up the informant to lodge this false case to harass the petitioner. 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 or her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. 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.20,000/- 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 Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Dhanbad, in connection with Katras (Ramkanali O.P.)
