JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner :Mr. Jitendra Nath Upadhyay, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rakesh Ranjan, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No:-02 Dated:-30-09-2026 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.458 of 2025 instituted under Section 47(a) of the Excise Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was illegally preparing country-made liquor and 40 litres of illegally brewed liquor was recovered along with 2000 Kg of Jawa Mahua. It is next submitted that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-12 of the instant Anticipatory Bail Application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner also undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant of the case or any of his family members in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within two weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.10,000/- as cash security and 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, Jamshedpur in connection with Complaint Case No.458 of 2025 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the informant of the case or any of his family members in any manner during the trial of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
