Order No.02 Dated- 24/03/2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Nala P.S. Case No.101 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 333, 115(2), 117(2), 109 & 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in prosecution of common object of the assembly attempted to murder Soylen Mandal and Supal Gorai. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that there was a free fight between the parties. It is next submitted that from the side of the petitioners, petitioner no.1 first lodged Nala P.S. Case No.100 of 2024 and as a counterblast, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the alleged injuries sustained by the injured persons are simple in nature. It is next submitted that the petitioners have no intention to kill anybody. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given
the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.
Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within eight weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.10,000/- each as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Jamtara in connection with Nala P.S. Case No.101 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
