RANCHI, India, June 28 -- Jharkhand High Court issued the following order on May 29:
1. The petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Bardiha P.S. Case No.15 of 2025 registered under Sections 132, 221, 285, 352, 351(2), 3(5) of BNS, 2023, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. The petitioner is the relative of a girl who died in a road accident being dashed by a tractor. It has been alleged that he along with others had obstructed the flow on Manjhiaon-Kandi, Main Road by causing inconvenience to the public at large. They had also chased the offending vehicle (Tractor). In fact, the petitioner was not involved in any commission of offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He has been implicated in this case merely on the basis of suspicion and hearsay statements of local persons. The petitioner, however, undertakes to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. Hence, he may be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
3. Learned A.P.P opposes the petitioner's prayer for grant of anticipatory bail.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court below within three weeks from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of learned SDJM, Garhwa in connection with Bardiha P.S. Case No. 15 of 2025 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
