Submission has been advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is the owner of one of the seized Tractors bearing registration No.JH-13-F-5324. It has been submitted that in similar circumstances, some of the co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in A.B.A. Nos.1406 of 2026, 1606 of 2026 and 1621 of 2026, vide orders dated 08.04.2026, 15.04.2026 and 15.04.2026 respectively. 5. Learned Spl. P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner and submitted that the petitioner has got three criminal antecedents. 2026:JHHC:15401 2 6. The antecedents of the petitioner do not relate to a similar nature of offence as has been alleged in the present case. It also appears that similarly situated co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail as noted above and consequent to the same, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the petitioner above named, is directed to surrender in the Court below within four weeks and pray for bail, and in that event, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C., Hazaribagh, in connection with Barkagaon P.S. Case No.263 of 2025, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023. 8. This Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed.
