IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No.1745 of 2025 ------ Pawan Narayan Lal @ P.N. Lal, aged about 42 years, son of Prem Narayan Lal, resident of C-66, Kumhar Para, Sonari, Jamshedpur Town, P.O. and P.S.- Sonari, District- East Singhbhum .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mrs. Neeharika Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Pankaj Kumar, P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated-18-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No.155 of 2024 instituted under Sections 420/467/468/471/120(B) 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 applied for a loan to purchase a Hywa Truxo 25 and submitted a quotation for the same issued by the M/s Sant Autos. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the loan of Rs.24,00,000/- was sanctioned in favour of the petitioner and the amount was transferred to the account of M/s Sant Autos and delivery challan of the vehicle was also issued by M/s Sant Autos that the petitioner neither deposited R.C. Book nor maintained repayment schedule due to which the loan account became NPA; later on, the bank came to know that the vehicle purchased by the petitioner was a Mahindra and Mahindra Tanker and not a Hywa Truxo 25 vehicle. It is alleged that the petitioner did the same in conspiracy with the co-accused persons. It is submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has already lodged Bistupur P.S. Case No.320 of 2018 against the co-accused M/s Sant Autos on fraudulently delivering the wrong vehicle. It is further submitted that the petitioner has not suppressed any fact from the Bank. Drawing attention of this court towards para-16 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent. 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 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. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on depositing Rs.20,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM, Jamshedpur in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No.155 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
