The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with ACB P.S. Case No. 06/24. It has been alleged that the complainant had submitted necessary documents for online mutation of ten decimals of his land in the Circle Office, Ramgarh on 28.03.2024. The application was received by Anil Kumar, who had demanded an amount of Rs. 25,000/- in order to get the work of the complainant done. A complaint was made by the complainant to the A.C.B. and a trap was laid, consequent to which an amount of Rs. 10,000/- was recovered from the possession of Anil Kumar. Submission has been advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner that though the petitioner is not named in the entire process of demanding and accepting illegal gratification, but subsequently on account of the confession of Anil Kumar, he has been implicated. It has further been submitted Anil Kumar has been granted bail by this Court in B.A. No. 4990 of 2024. Learned counsel adds that the petitioner is merely a Karmachari in the Circle Office. Mr. Vishwanath Roy, learned Spl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Regard being had to the fact that the implication of the petitioner appears to be solely on account of the confession of the co-accused Anil Kumar, who has already been granted bail by this Court, the petitioner, accordingly, is directed to surrender before the -2- learned court below within a period of four weeks and on his surrender, he shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, A.C.B., Hazaribag in connection with A.C.B. P.S. Case No. 06/24, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This application stands allowed. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J.) Preet/-
