JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI --- For the Petitioner :- Mr. Sudhir Kumar Roy, Advocate For the State :- Mrs. Anuradha Sahay, Advocate ---- 2/22.06.2026 Heard learned counsels for petitioner and for State. 2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Hirodih P.S. Case No.64 of 2026, for offence registered under section 303(2), 317(4) and 317(5), 3(5) of BNS, 2023 and Rules 4/54 of Jharkhand Minor Mineral Concession Rules and Sections 4 and 21 of Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 and Rules 7 and 9 of Jharkhand Minerals (Prevention of Illegal Mining, Transportation and Storage) Rules, 2017, pending in court of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Giridih. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case only on secret information and the allegations are made of excavating for stone. 4. Learned State counsel opposes prayer and submits that the name of the petitioner has been taken by the villagers and on this 2026:JHHC:18158 2 ground he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Considering that the name of the petitioner has come on suspicion and the name of the person who has taken the name of the petitioner has not been disclosed in the FIR and it has been pointed out that the petitioner earns his livelihood by way of doing labour work, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner. 6. Accordingly, petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to surrender before learned court within three weeks from today, and in event of his surrender/arrest, petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, to satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Giridih, in connection with Hirodih P.S.
