Bhadwari, P.S. Hansdiha, District Dumka, Jharkhand. .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Durga C. Mishra, Advocate For the State : Mr. Manoj Kr. Mishra, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated-24-03-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Hansdiha P.S. Case No.65 of 2024 instituted under Sections 25(1-B)(a)/26/35 of the Arms Act, 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 from the asbestos roof of the house of the petitioner, one country-made pistol and Rs.65,000/- was seized. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has not been named in the FIR. It is then submitted that the petitioner is an old man of 73 years and is a Doctor. It is also submitted that because of land dispute between the parties, the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. It is further 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. 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.10,000/- 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, Dumka in connection with Hansdiha P.S. Case No.65 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.
