He also submits that the petitioners have not received any notice for deposit of the fine and when the petitioners have 2026:JHHC:21346 2 received the notice under section 41-A IPC, thereafter, the petitioners have come to know about the case. 4. Learned State counsel opposes prayer and submits that allegations are there of illegally carrying the sand on the trucks. 5. Considering that petitioner no.1 is owner and the petitioner no.2 is the driver of the truck bearing No.UP 678AT 6565 and the said truck has not been seized and it has been pointed out that the said truck is still being operated by the petitioners and the allegations are made of illegally carrying the sand in question and it has been pointed out that the petitioners have also not received any document demanding the fine and the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as disclosed in paragraph no.15 of the petition, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to both the petitioners. 6. Accordingly, both the petitioners, above named, are hereby directed to surrender before learned court within three weeks from today, and in event of their surrender/arrest, both the petitioners, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Nagar Untari, Garhwa, in connection with Ramna PS Case No.124 of 2021, subject to the conditions as laid down under section 482(2) of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023.
