Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner happened to be owner of hywa tripper vehicle and the allegations are made of carrying 800 cft. quartzite in absence of any challan. He further submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph No.13 of the petition. On 2026:JHHC:16285 --2-- A.B.A. No. 2727 of 2026 these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that in absence of any valid challan the said quartzite was being carried in the said hywa. 5. Considering that the petitioner happened to be owner of said hywa and the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph No.13 of the petition. Transporting challan is the part of FIR itself, however, that is in dispute and that is subject matter of investigation. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jamtara in connection with Jamtara P.S.
