JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Suraj D. Munda, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 27.03.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No.367 of 2016 (G.R. No. 1116 of 2016) registered for the offences punishable under sections 147/ 148/ 149/ 295/ 295A/ 298/307/353/379/427/436 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 5/6/15 of E.P. Act. The Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners were members of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly, were members of ramnavmi procession and when the persons of Muslim community pelted stones upon the procession, the petitioners became violent and damaged and vandalized many shops. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 10 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioners undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case. It is lastly submitted that the co-accused person has already been given the privilege of anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 21.06.2023 in A.B.A. No.1392 of 2023. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privilege 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 petitioners be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of their arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Hazaribagh, in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No.367 of 2016 (G.R. No. 1116 of 2016) with the condition that the petitioners will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish their mobile numbers and a copy of their Aadhar Cards in the court below with the undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
