Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Gumla P.S. Case No.40 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under section 303(2) and 317(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, under Section 4/21 of M.M.D.R. Act 1957, Rule 4/54 Jharkhand Minor Mineral Concession (JMMC) Rules, 2004 and Rule 7/9 of Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in storage and transportation of illegally excavated sand. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.16 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the above named petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.10,000/- 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 C.J.M., Gumla, in connection with Gumla P.S.
