Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case and the petitioners are neither the sellers nor the purchasers of the camels which has been shown to be recovered and brought for slaughtering purposes. He next submits that the petitioners are not at all any way related to the purchase and sale of the camels seized by the police. He further submits that one Md. Raees @ Md. Rahish claimed himself to be the owner of the said 82 camels and subsequently, the said camels have also been released by the order of the court dated 25.08.2017 in favour of Volunteer of Gau Gyan Foundation. He further submits that earlier process under Section 82 of the Cr.P.C. was issued against this petitioner however, the same was quashed by this court in Cr.M.P. No.4456 of 2022 by order dated 03.04.2025, thereafter, the petitioners have filed the present anticipatory bail application. He also submits 2026:JHHC:14046 that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in para 14 of the petition. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the name of the petitioners has come on the disclosure made by the villagers. 5. Considering that in the FIR, the name of the person, who has taken the name of these petitioners, has not been disclosed and the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in para 14 of the petition and subsequently, the camels were released in favour of Arti Tondon, Volunteer of Gau Gyan Foundation, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned court within two weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrender, they shall be enlarged on bail 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Giridih, in connection with Dhanwar P.S.
