Order No.04 Dated- 06-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending her arrest in connection with Bishnugarh P.S. Case
No.24 of 2024 instituted under Sections 341, 323, 307, 353, 427, 34 of the
Indian Penal Code, 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, in furtherance of
common intention with the co-accused persons, attempted to murder the
police personnel by assaulting them with bricks and stones and used
criminal force against the police personnel intimidating them from
discharging their duty. It is submitted that the allegation against the
petitioner is false. It is next submitted that the petitioner is a female and there
is no direct allegation of assault against her. It is also submitted that no one
has been injured in the alleged occurrence. It is then submitted that the co-
accused- Idris Ansari @ Md. Idris, has already been given the privileges of
anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated
13.12.2024 passed in A.B.A. No.7379 of 2024. It is lastly submitted that the
petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case. Hence,
it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned Addl.P.P 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 six weeks from today and in the event of her arrest
or surrendering, she will 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 J.M., Hazaribag in connection with Bishnugarh
P.S. Case No.24 of 2024 with the condition that she will co-operate with the
investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and
when noticed by him and furnish her mobile number and photocopy of
the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that she will not change her mobile
number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid
down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
