Order No.03 Dated- 07-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Kanke P.S. Case No.04 of
2019 instituted under Sections 147, 148, 149, 152, 153, 332, 333, 337, 338, 353,
307, 427, 435, 436 of the Indian Penal Code, and under Section 3 of the
Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984, the petitioner has moved
this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against
the petitioner is that the petitioner, being a member of an unlawful assembly
and being armed with deadly weapons attempted to murder the public
servant-police personnel. It is next submitted that the allegations against the
petitioner are all false and there is no allegation of any injury sustained by
anybody and the allegations are general and omnibus in nature. It is next
submitted that there is no basis upon which the petitioner has been
implicated in this case and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has
been mentioned in paragraph no.15 of the instant anticipatory bail
application. It is further submitted that the co-accused, with the similar
allegations, has already been given the privileges of anticipatory bail by the
co-ordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 06.09.2023 passed in A.B.A.
No.5576 of 2023. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to
cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the
petitioner be given the privilege 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 his arrest or
surrendering, he will be enlarged on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/-
(Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the
satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Ranchi in connection with Kanke P.S. Case
No.04 of 2019 with the condition that he will co-operate with the
investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and
when noticed by him 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 further conditions as laid
down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
