JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY For the Petitioner : Mr. Indrajit Sinha , Adv. Mr. Sagar Kumar, Adv. Mr. Ankit Vishal , Adv. For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar. , Addl.. PP 02 / 06.03.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Sakchi P.S. Case No. 201 of 2024 registered under Sections 406, 409, 420 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed criminal breach of trust and cheating by being instrumental in mis-appropriation of the iron rods loaded in his two different vehicles; worth Rs 16,45,000/-. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and those allegations are general and omnibus in nature. The learned counsel for the petitioner files the certified copy of the FIR of KGP (L) no. 432 of 2024 corresponding to G.R. no,. 1468 of 2024 dated 28.05.2024 and submits that prior to filing of the Complaint Case no. 2272 of 2024 by the informant, which upon being referred to police under Section 156 (3) of the CrPC, Sakchi P.S. Case No. 201 of 2024 has been registered, the petitioner filed the case about criminal breach of trust having been committed by the driver of his two trucks and others. It is next submitted that the petitioner himself hired the said two trucks from the market. 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. 10,000/- 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, Jamshedpur in connection with Sakchi P.S.
