Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has
moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail
in connection with Kolebira P.S. Case No. 27 of 2023
registered under Sections 302, 201, 34 of the Indian Penal
Code.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits
that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner
is the holder of a mobile number who was in touch with the
co-accused persons, who were involved in commission of
murder of Ravi Kumar. It is then submitted that the
allegations against the petitioner are all false and the
petitioner is not named in the FIR nor the co-accused
persons, whose confessional statement has been recorded by
the police, namely Guria Kumari, Raunak Kumar Upadhyay,
Piyush Kumar Singh and Ashuthosh Kumar Sahu, have
taken the name of the petitioner rather they have
categorically stated that they themselves have committed
murder of Ravi Kumar and except that alleged mobile
number belongs to the father of the petitioner; there is no
other material to implicate the petitioner in this case. It is
further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that
the petitioner is the student of Sarla Birla University where
the co-accused Ashutosh Kumar Sahu was also studying but
the said Ashutosh Kumar Sahu has not implicated the
petitioner in this case, in any manner. It is next submitted
that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the
investigation of the case and also undertakes to furnish
sufficient security including cash security and he
undertakes not to annoy or disturb the informant in any
manner during pendency of the case hence, the petitioner be
given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for
anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the
case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to
the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or
surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this
order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on depositing
Rs. 10,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of
Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two
sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned
CJM, Simdega in connection with Kolebira P.S. Case No. 27 of
2023 subject to the condition that the petitioner will not
annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during
pendency of the case and will co-operate with the
Investigation of the case and will appear before the
Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will
submit mobile number and photocopy of Aadhaar card at the
time of surrender in the court below with an undertaking not
to change mobile phone number during the pendency of the
case along with the other conditions laid down under section
482 (2) of BNSS, 2023.
