Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner happened to be the owner of a trailer and allegations are there of carrying morrum on the said trailer in absence of any proper documents. He next submits that the said morrum was being carried for using the same in the construction of a dam. He further submits that the other owners and drivers of other trailers have already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in A.B.A. Nos. 4667, 4666, 4734 and 4737 of 2026 respectively. He also submits that the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para-12 of the petition. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner. 4. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer and submits that in absence of any proper document, morrum was being carried on the said [2026:JHHC:25187] -2- trailer in question. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected. 5. Considering that the petitioner is the owner and he is having no criminal antecedent and disclosure to that effect has been made in para-12 of the petition and in identical situation, the owner and driver of other trailers have already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in the aforementioned A.B.As. and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to surrender before the learned court within four weeks from today and in the event of his surrender / arrest, the petitioner, named above, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 25,000/- (twenty-five thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Palamau at Daltonganj, in connection with Chhatarpur P.S.
