Order No.02 Dated- 25-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Radhanagar P.S. Case No.216 of 2024 instituted under Sections 317(4) and 3(5) of B.N.S., 2023, Rule 4/54 of J.M.M.C., Rule 2004 and under Rule 7/9 of Jharkhand Mineral (Prevention of illegal Mining Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017, 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 are respectively the owner and driver of the Tractor bearing registration no.JH18D-7405 and the said vehicle was seized by police while being involved in transportation of illegally excavated sand. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co- operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Spl.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 in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on petitioner no.1 depositing Rs.10,000/- and petitioner no.2 depositing Rs.5,000/- as cash security 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 J.M., 1st Class, Rajmahal in connection with Radhanagar P.S. Case No.216 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
