Order No.02 Dated- 21.02.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Kadma P.S. Case No.171 of 2024 registered under sections 316(2), 318(4), 351(2), 115(2) & 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners took loan from the informant and other women with the assurance that the petitioners will pay the installment to the bank but have cheated and dishonestly misappropriated the same in total worth Rs.5,00,000/- and when the informant insisted for repayment of the money taken by the petitioners, the petitioners threatened and abused her. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and are general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that the date, time and year of lending money to the petitioners has not been mentioned and the dispute between the parties is basically a civil dispute and a cloak of a criminal case has been given to the same. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertake
that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.20,000/- each and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Jamshedpur, in connection with Kadma P.S. Case No.171 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile number and a copy of their Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that that they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
