Shikarwar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Ramgarh P.S. Case No.11 of 2026. It has been alleged that a dacoity was committed in the Plant of Dayal Steel and various articles including cash were looted. Submission has been advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been implicated on the confessional statement of co-accused-Mukesh Kasera to the effect that the petitioner had agreed to purchase the stolen articles. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is aged about 68 years and he does not have any criminal antecedents. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Regard being had to the manner of implication of the petitioner, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 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/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Ramgarh in connection with Ramgarh P.S.
