Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has changed number plate of his vehicle which stands recorded in the name of the mother of the petitioner by affixing fictitious number plate and got loaded 42 metric tons of iron rods in the said vehicle. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the vehicle was in custody of the driver of the vehicle concerned and there is no allegation against the petitioner of inducing anybody to part with any property for committing criminal breach of trust. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security hence, the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on depositing Rs. 50,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Seraikella in connection with Rajnagar P.S.
