Case No.43 of 2023 instituted under Sections 467/468/471/474/406/506/419/ 420/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 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 in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons and in furtherance of common intention with them, sold the joint property of the informant in capacity of power of attorney holder of the co-accused- Nandini Singhdeo.

It is then submitted that there is no allegation of Nandini Singhdeo not executing any power of attorney in favour of the petitioner. It is further submitted that vide Rent Fixation Case No.01 of 2019-20 of the court of LRDC, Seraikella, rent fixation of the land sold by the petitioner; by virtue of such power of attorney, bearing plot Nos.59, 60 and 402, was made in favour of the co-accused Nandini Singhdeo and she had been paying rent in respect of the land sold, the time the said land was sold, by the petitioner. It is also submitted that the dispute between the parties is at best a civil dispute. It is also submitted that there is an inordinate and unexplained delay in filing the complaint case No.73 of 2023 which upon being referred to police, the FIR of this case has been registered. It is also submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. 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.
