Order No.02 Dated- 25-03-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Sundarpahari P.S. Case No.29 of 2024 instituted under Sections 379 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has received a part of the consignment of Chemical India sent by the informant. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is in no way concerned with the alleged occurrence. It is further submitted that the petitioner has neither received any material nor he received any phone call from the co-accused Gangadhar Mandal who has already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-15 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is also submitted that during the investigation, from the Call Details Report it was found that no call was ever made to or from the mobile phone of the petitioner to the co-accused Gangadhar Mandal. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, 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.10,000/- 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 Sub Judge-IV-cum-Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Godda in connection with Sundarpahari P.S. Case No.29 of 2024 with the condition that he will co- operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his 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.
