Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail in connection with Namkum P.S. Case No.100 of 2024 registered under sections 414 of the Indian Penal Code, under Section 11(1)(d)(e) of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, under Section 4(B) of Bihar Jharkhand Prevention and Improvement of Animal Act and 12 of Jharkhand Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter) Act, 2005. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner is the owner of the Pickup Van bearing registration no.JH-01CT-1980 which was involved in transportation of bovine animals taken for slaughtering. 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, and the petitioner had no knowledge about his said vehicle being involved in any illegal activity. 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 abovenamed 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. 20,000/- 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 J.M.-1st Class, Ranchi, in connection with Namkum P.S.
