JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Abhay Kr. Tiwari, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 02-04-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint (F) Case No.1054 of 2022 instituted for the offences punishable under sections 33, 33C and 52 of the Indian Forest Act but the cognizance taken under Section 33C and 52 of Indian Forest Act, 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 encroached the forest land by constructing the house. It is next submitted that petitioner undertakes that he will demolish the house constructed over the place of occurrence land and furnish a certificate from the Forest Range Officer, Barkagaon, Hazaribagh regarding the same and petitioner will not enter into the forest land during the pendency of the trial. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co- operate with the trial of the case. 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 producing the certificate from the Forest Land Officer, Barkagaon, Hazaribagh that he has demolished the house constructed over the place of occurrence forest land 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 Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Hazaribag, in connection with Complaint (F) Case No.1054 of 2022 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and he will not enter intoa forest area during the pendency of the trial and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
