Mangla Bedia, aged about 46 years, son of Bhandu Bedia, Both are resident of village-Koyanardih, P.O.-Medha, P.S.- Angara, District-Ranchi. .... .... …. Petitioners Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Sudhansu Kumar Deo, Advocate For the State : Mr. Anup Pawan Topno, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 26/03/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Angara P.S. Case No.03 of 2024 instituted under Sections 366, 307, 354, 452, 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 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 furtherance of common intention with the co-accused person outraged the modesty of the informant and attempted to commit rape upon her. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that there is an inordinate delay of about more than 1 month and 10 days in institution the complaint case no.9022 of 2023 which is being referred to police under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C. for the registration of FIR. It is next submitted that the petitioner no.1 is the son of petitioner no.2. It is then submitted that the informant is the next-door neighbour of the petitioners and because of the dispute regarding taking water from the handpump near the house of the petitioners, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that there is no injury report to suggest any commission of offence and there is no allegation of any abduction. It is also submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or victim or any of their family members 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 six 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 J.M., Ranchi in connection with Angara P.S. Case No.03 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 or victim or any of their family members 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.
