Order No:-02 Dated:-17-07-2026
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Rajmahal P.S. Case No.460 of 2020 instituted under Sections 147, 148, 323, 341, 366, 354, 504, 506, 379 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. This is the second journey of the petitioners with the prayer for anticipatory bail. Earlier the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners was rejected on merit by this Court vide order dated 16.06.2021 passed in A.B.A. No. 2456 of 2021.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the fresh ground is that a compromise has been effected to between the petitioners and the victim; in this respect, the learned counsel for the petitioners draws attention of this Court to Annexure-3 at page Nos.22 to 26 of the brief which is the copy of the certified copy of the compromise petition jointly filed by the petitioners and the victim, in the court of the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Rajmahal and submits that therein, it has been mentioned by the parties that consequent upon such compromise, cordial relationship has been
restored between the parties. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false. Drawing attention of this court towards para-13 of the instant bail application, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have no criminal antecedent. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the State and the learned counsel for the informant oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.
Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are
directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will 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 Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Rajmahal in connection with Rajmahal P.S. Case No.460 of 2020 with the condition that they will co- operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
