Order No.02 Dated- 28-02-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending her arrest in connection with Borio (J) P.S. Case No.192 of 2023 instituted under sections 366, 504, 506, 120B/34 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 in criminal conspiracy with the co- accused persons tried to kidnap the victim. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the parties have settled their dispute outside the court and in this respect, the learned counsel for the petitioner and the informant draws attention of the Court to the copy of the certified copy of the compromise petition filed by the informant-victim in the Court of Sessions Judge, Sahibganj at Annexure-2. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-12 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that she will not annoy or disturb the informant-victim or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is next submitted that the co-accused with similar allegations have already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by this court vide order dated 11.02.2025 passed in ABA no. 3054 of 2024 and other analogous cases. 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 her arrest or surrendering, she 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 C.J.M., Sahibganj in connection with Borio (J) P.S. Case No.192 of 2023 with the condition that she will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish her mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and she will not annoy or disturb the informant-victim or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
