JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Rakesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 08.04.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Hussainabad P.S. Case No.236 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 25(1-A)/25(1-B) (a)/26/35 of Arms Act and under Section 317(5)/3(5) of B.N.S., 2023. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner supplied the country made pistol and the same was recovered from the co- accused persons. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and except the statement of the co- accused persons, there is no material in the record to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is then submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case because of village politics and the petitioner was working in a factory at Hubbli in the State of Karnataka in the month of November, 2024 when the alleged occurrence stated to have taken place. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 11 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner 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 petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs. 10,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M., Palamau, in connection with Hussainabad P.S. Case No.236 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
