Heard the parties.
2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of
the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been preferred
by the petitioner apprehending his arrest, for offences under
Sections 420, 468, 471 IPC and Sections 66(d), (e) of the
Information Technology Act. Charge-sheet has been submitted for
offences under Sections 504 and 506 IPC and 66(C) and 66(D) of
the Information Technology Act.
3. It is alleged that a fake Facebook account was created
by this petitioner to defame the informant.
4. During the course of argument, it has been brought to
the notice of this Court that the charge-sheet has already been
submitted in this case and the petitioner has cooperated in the
investigation by complying with the Notice issued under Section
41A Cr.P.C.
5. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the
prayer for anticipatory bail.
6. Considering the fact that charge-sheet has already

been submitted and there is no scope of any investigation far less
custodial investigation, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to
this petitioner.
7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands
allowed. The petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender
before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of
receipt of copy of this order and on the event of his surrender or
arrest, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of
Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of the like
amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate First
Class at Hazaribagh, in connection with Giddi P.S. Case No.25 of
2021, subject to the condition that one of the bailers should be a
close relative of the petitioner and other should be a resident of
State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in his / her
name or in the name of his ancestors in which he / she is having
share and to that effect, he / she has to file an affidavit before the
Trial Court indicating his / her share in the property.
