The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Tandwa P.S.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the apprehended co-accused persons have falsely stated that they were going to sell the iron plates to the petitioner, who is a shopkeeper. He further submits that the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para-18 of the petition. He also submits that the other co-accused persons have already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail in A.B.A. Nos. 2777 and 2877 of 2026 by the co-ordinate bench of this court. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the name of the petitioner has come on the [ 2026:JHHC:22298 ] -2- basis of confessional statement. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Considering that the name of the petitioner has come on the basis of confessional statement and further the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para- 18 of the petition and the other co-accused persons have already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail in the aforementioned A.B.As. by the co-ordinate bench of this court. 6. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Chatra, in connection with Tandwa P.S.
