Order No.02 Dated- 26-03-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.151 of 2025 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 33/41 & 42 of the Indian Forest Act, 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 respectively being the owner and driver of the tractor which was seized by police while being involved in illegal transportation of sand from protected forest. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. Drawing attention of this Court towards para-09 of the instant bail application,
learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the trial 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.5,000/- 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 A.C.J.M., Chatra in connection with Complaint Case No.151 of 2025 with the condition that they will co-operate with the trial of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
