Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Seraidhela P.S. Case No. 290 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 309(4), 309(6) of the BNS, 2023.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed robbery, causing hurt to the informant. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and except the confessional statement of the co-accused, there is no material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case and there is inordinate delay in lodging the FIR. There is no allegation against the petitioner of having any intention to deceive anybody. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph 13 of the anticipatory bail application. 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 and he undertakes to waive his right of being put inany TIP and will not challenge his identification by any witness during the trial of the case on the ground that no
proper TIP was held. It is next submitted that co-accused with similar allegations has already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by this court vide order dated 18.03.2025 passed in ABA no. 1665 of 2025 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, Dhanbad in connection with Seraidhela P.S. Case No. 290 of 2024 subject to the condition that the petitioner waives his right of being put in any TIP and will not challenge his identification by any witness during the trial of the case on the ground that no proper TIP was held and will co-operate with the Investigation of the case and will appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will submit mobile number and photocopy of Aadhaar card at the time of surrender in the court below with an undertaking not to change mobile phone number during the pendency of the case along with the other conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of BNSS, 2023.
